 The trailhead is a short distance west of the parking area. About 0.2 miles down the trail you will
come to a junction of two trails. The right trail goes to
Cod Pond. After signing in at the kiosk at this point,
proceed straight. A sign there indicates that Stewart
Creek is in that direction. In another 0.8 miles until you reach
a wooden bridge. The waterfall starts under this bridge
and continues downstream. We note a 2.1 mile round-trip.
This accounts for the fact that you will probably want to cross
the bridge and descend to the creek bed where you can walk
downstream to get a better view and pictures.
This slide type falls, drops about 15' over a stretch of this
waterway.
Stewart Creek flows into the east branch of the Sacandaga River,
which joins the main branch downstream from that point. The
Sacandaga River flows through a number of lakes as it makes its
way to the Hudson River whose final destination is the Atlantic
Ocean.
