Lake George Quadrangle

From the Middle Falls, continue up the road for another 0.3 miles (1.2 miles from where you parked) to the Upper Falls. You can see the falls from the road but trees are in the way blocking the best views. The good news is that in this area, the No Trespassing signs are on the opposite side of the brook so a short scramble down the embankment will take you to the base of this 7' falls, our favorite of the three falls on this hike.

At this point you can turn around and hike back to your car.  FYI, we did continue up the road another quarter mile to the gate where the road becomes private.  There is a pond off to the left but it was heavily posted as private so we did not venture over to see it.
Our thanks to Gary Dilmore for the photos and information on this location.

English Brook is at the north end of the village of Lake George.  This flows into Lake George, which, in turn, flows through La Chute into Lake Champlain.  The flow then goes north through Canada on the Richelieu River and empties into the St. Lawrence River.
