We bushwhacked from the North Woods Club road to Kettle Mtn where you can look across the Hudson River Gorge to see the falls. Considering OK Slip is one of the tallest falls in the Adirondacks and probably also the state, there's very little you'll find on it because of the land ownership problem. -FXDD Reviews

Hi buffelf01. It appears you swapped your posts for this thread and the OK Slip Falls thread.

Howdy, for the last several years I have managed the museum adjacent to the lower falls. Lake George is about 220 feet higher than Lake Champlain, and impeded by 7 dams, and two and a half falls, the water drops to Lake Champlain level. The lower falls (like Coopers Cave) was invisible for about 100 years, covered bt the Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper mill and American Graphite (Ticonderoga Pencil people). I's only after 1970 that Ti residents and visitors rediscovered the lower falls.. The small portion of the falls that remains is composed (mostly) of Potsdam sandstone... -Fred
