I've posted two new, albeit small, ones recently - The Hidden Glen in Broome County, and Tilton Falls in Tompkins County. If time will cooperate with me I may have a couple more new Broome County falls soon, and perhaps another new one in Tioga.

Rock Stream just south of Big Stream (Glenora Falls)...cant get a good angle on it but looks to be just as impressive...possibly larger than Glenora.

One your missing is Alice Falls. It is a falls on the Ausable River, the water goes over Alice Falls then over to the Ausable Chasm. I couldn't figure how to get the map correctly but it is off of Rt9 in Keeseville Essex County.

While hunting this weekend I happened across 2 waterfalls by chance. These falls are located within the New Michigan State Forest (Chenango County) approx. 8 miles west of Norwich. While driving through the forest to various spots to hunt, several other smaller streams were noticed that might possibly lead to falls as well.

This is a falls coming out of Reservoir Creek from Plymouth Reservoir (left circle on map)...guessing somewhere in the 60-80' range as it tumbles over 2-10' ledges all the way down. There was a smaller falls above it (10'ish) and I'm guessing a few more below it but I didnt have the time to explore further.

These falls were fed either via spring or possibly a small run off from Round Pond...theres wasnt a creek crossing at the road but a few trickles down the hill and suddenly these 2 falls (10-20'ish) collide less than 200 yards from the road. Again, guessing there might be more.

Great finds!!! More falls close to home for me!! I will be checking those out before New Years, I hope. :) I've often looked at at the topo of that whole area around New Michigan and the countless other state forests up there, and figured there to be quite a few undocumented falls throughout. Just haven't had the chance to get up there and explore too much. I'm hoping next summer to do a bit of lo-tech orienteering (map, compass, and pencil) through a couple state forests, in Chenango County and other parts of the NY State, in search of falls. I've got a couple "primary targets" in mind and I'm sure I'll find more along the way.

No location is listed on Ruths website (private)...I had long ago wondered where this falls lay...before NYFalls was born. I had nearly forgotten about it, until last evening when my gfs father mentioned a rollover accident that occured near Devils Bedroom. Devils Bedroom, Devils Bedroom I said to myself...ah ha! I recalled that it was a falls listed on Ruths page. I asked him where Devils Bedroom was located, and below is an birds eye image from Bing and location marked on Google.
