Salisbury Quadrangle

This area is just downstream of the Spruce Creek Falls.  It would probably be more correct to give directions from there, since the covered bridge at that location makes it a focal point.  If you travel there first, return to NY 29, take a right and then the first right onto Kingsley Road.  From here, you will also have upstream views of the covered bridge and waterfall at Spruce Creek Falls.

The main part of this drop is a slide that drops an estimated 10'.  There are two small steps just upstream of the bridge.  It would probably be a tough call as to whether that is the lower part of the Spruce Creek Falls upstream or the top of this stretch.  Since the vantage points of these two locations are from different roads, we have included it here.

You can find a trail across from the parking area, on the downstream side of the bridge.  From here, you can make your way to the rocks below the falls for a nice view and picture opportunity.

The water from the Spruce Creek makes its way into the East Canada Creek, the Mohawk River and the Hudson River before reaching the Atlantic Ocean in New York City.
