Graphite Quadrangle

An Internet website does refer to this waterfall as Rock Pond Brook Falls.  However, a map available at the campground office refers to it as Woodland Falls.  Since it is their waterfall, we are going with that!

As for the length of this hike, note that the distance noted in the data side-bar includes the hike posted as Rock Pond Brook Tributary Falls.  This drop can be viewed on the return from that hike.  It is possible to hike directly to this site but then you would miss the falls on the tributary!

From Rock Pond Tributary Falls, continue west on the Rock Pond to Lilypad Pond Trail for about half a mile.  As the trail goes down a hill and circles around to the right, you will hear and see Woodland Falls on your right. At the bottom of the hill there is a path on the right that will lead you to the base of the falls.  

They is a beautiful 30' waterfall, the top portion being about 20' falling into a pool and the lower portion being about a 10' drop.

After viewing the falls, you can either retrace your path back to the parking lot or do what we did, when you get back to Rock Pond, we completed the loop around the south side of Rock Pond, which is actually a little shorter and easier to navigate.

After viewing the falls, return to the trail and continue on the Woodland Falls.

Rock Pond Brook flows into Crane Pond.  From there, it continues to Alder Pond which flows into Alder Creek which joins Schroon River just north of Schroon Lake near the community of Schroon Lake.  This waterway flows into the Hudon River when joins the Atlantic Ocean in New York City.

Webmaster's note:  Our thanks to Gary Dilmore for the pictures, directions and information on this waterfall.
