Like the previous segment of this hike, Upper Falls #13 is just a short distance beyond #12.  Continue hiking along the edge of the stream.  

Shelving Rock Brook Upper Falls #13 is something you're going to want to spend some time on.  At an estimated 40' tall with several distinct drops it's a real beauty.  After viewing it from the base, work your way up the left side of the brook to get some nice views of the upper sections.  As always, use caution as you move around.  After you're done admiring this waterfall just work your way back over to the trail and continue upstream.

Shelving Rock Brook empties into Lake George.  The water from this then 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.

Please note that the Shelving Rock Brook is officially named but these tributaries and the falls on them are unnamed.  We have chosen these monikers to simplify the cataloging of the waterfalls.

Webmaster's note:  Our thanks to Gary Dilmore for the information and pictures of this location.
