Supposedly a 300' Falls...however from this pic and others I just dont see it. Located near Pisceo NY and is about a 10mile RT hike.

I plan on checking out at least one that we dont have listed...(High Falls, Chateaugay, NY) and will see if time allows for some others.
Also for our fellow ADK area waterfall enthusiasts...if you dont know about this site and were looking for new falls to capture, this site lists several we havent accounted for... T Lake Falls and other ADK falls

This has been on my To Do list for a while. Those who have seen it say it really is that big, but it's a slide falls rather than a plunge. The USGS quad also supports about 300 feet. This old postcard suggests that the photo may only have captured the lower part.
I think the problem is that the common way in, a ten mile hike/bushwhack, doesn't give you the perspective needed to see the whole falls.- hobkyl

He wouldn't even think about it. I was thinking more along the lines of "Hmm.. somewhere to sleep at night after I go out trekkin'."

I've heard of T-Lake but never got over there. From what I understand, the hike in is OK until you get to the falls. The trail ends at the top and you have to bushwhack down to the bottom, and it's a bit of a scramble and not easy. From what I've seen, it's several long cascades and sloping rocks, that combined might be 300 feet.
