Lake George Quadrangle

West Brook Tributary Falls #3To reach Falls #3 you will hike upstream about 0.3 miles from Falls #2.  It starts out pretty easy and quickly becomes very steep.  The stream also becomes very spread out so I found myself walking up through the middle of it.  There was not much water but if you go during a time of higher water you'll likely have to swing wide to one side or the other to avoid getting too wet.  

Regardless, just keep following the stream and you will arrive at Falls #3 in about 16-20 minutes depending on the pace you can keep.  Falls #3 is in the 35'-40' range.  

The bottom is a little hard to define because it's in the middle of a long steep mountainside.  The top portion of the falls is more defined and nicer looking, despite the low water volume.  If you look at the video you can get an idea of the terrain in the area.

Our thanks to Gary Dilmore for the photos and information on this location.

West 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.
