Wagener Glen

Pultney, NY

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=42.5 ... 1&t=p&z=15

Unknown # of falls and heights.

Unknown ownership. (Currently corresponding with Town Clerk in regards to ownership, but it has been slow going)
There is a large falls here maybe about 75 feet high. Is possibly private but there were no posted signs as of a few years ago.
Finally got an response from the owner.



Dear Mr. Hobart,

I apologize for not responding to your letter this past summer. But, since you have followed up with various inquiries regarding the Wagner gully property in the town of Pulteney, you should be informed of the position of the trustees that manage the property.

They understand your intentions, but due to liability issues, cannot allow you to use the property for recreational, photographic, or any other purpose.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Walt Peek,
Trustee

Morganville Falls

Another falls nearby is Morganville Falls near Batavia. About 25 feet high I think. I've only been at the crest of that. All the downstream access points are heavily posted.

I have obtained permission to access these falls and plan to visit sometime this spring.

I'd love to go with you when you go or find out who owns the property and get permission. I used to camp down there when I was a kid and haven't been back in years.

I received permission via mail yesterday from the owner with a contact number and intend on calling him tommorow. I will keep you guys updated.

I'm pretty sure I did them all. Let me know if there's anything missing.
