Sherman Falls videoThe Trenton Falls Scenic Trail contains a number of waterfalls and dams.  We would ask you to refer to our Trenton Falls page for general information about the area.  Also note that it is only open on a limited basis.  The Town of Trenton website should be consulted to find those dates.

Sherman Falls is the first waterfall you will come to as you proceed upstream on the walking tour.  This waterfall for the most part only drops over 15% to 20% of the width of the channel.  The rest of the riverbed is fairly smooth rock.  It is probably possible that during extremely heavy flow, more would be covered, but that undoubtedly would be quite rare.

Sherman Falls became an officially named waterfall when it was added to the GNIS on July 3, 2019.

The West Canada Creek empties into the Mohawk River, which then flows into the Hudson before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
