Monument Falls

Monument Falls at Adirondack Park in Wilmington, New York is a quick roadside stop along NY-86.

This is not a hike but rather a roadside stop that features a view from above Monument Falls of the West Branch Ausable River. Unfortunately Monument Falls sits just north along NY-86 along a dangerous bend in the road where cars travel past at ~55MPH, so it's not very safe to walk around to view the downstream side of Monument Falls.

This write-up exists to try and help folks locate Monument Falls.

Monument Falls
Monument Falls, if viewed from the road, is ~20-feet wide and 5-feet tall that cascades down a series of bedrock steps. It's best viewed if driving south along NY-86.
