Bremer has done a nice job describing the entrance into the gully. Between his and the description in the Footprint Press book, it shouldn't be too difficult to find. Also see the Footprint Press blog for more info. http://newyorkoutdoors.wordpress.com/ and http://newyorkoutdoors.wordpress.com/20 ... -april-18/

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the welcome. I will try to periodically add information/fill in the gaps on the finger lakes falls. I have info on a few more that have not been covered yet and will try to add some more info periodically.

Despite all the rain we've been having Clarks wasn't flowing as much as one might hope. Where do you consider lower and upper Clarks to divide? I climbed up as far as I could safely manage until I got to a large falls. Guessing 70'+. Unfortunately the sun was directly overhead so pictures were all scrapped. I've gone in at the top before but could not find a safe way into the gully.

Thanks for posting these! I've never seen photos of the upper falls. I've only seen the lower one, in your last shot.

You are welcome, wish I could have gotten some decent photos of the top falls though

I would say the divide would be at the falls in your last photo. Not one I would recommend climbing.

Those falls are actually pretty easy to climb over. Right up the right side of the falls. Those are the first of the falls that you come to. The first two are beyond that but before this....
I didn't see a safe looking way up those. That is where I turned back.
And the rest of these are somewhere in between those in no particular order. Unfortunately I had the sun directly overhead.
There are a handful of other channels flanking the sides of the gully as well that could hold some falls, but those were bone dry.
