I just checked these creeks out on Google Earth. wooowwww!!! Those falls look impressive.
Even if there is an access point from Twin Glens Rd. it looks like you'd be only able to get to the crest of the falls. They don't look like the type of falls that you could climb down. The best method might be to park at the house on 34 right in between the glens and kindly ask them for permission to enter.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. ~Henry David Thoreau
The parcel labeled 12.1 on the first map is the one classified as "Wild Lands" on the Thomkins GIS site. On the other map, the funky kinda upside down L shaped parcel is completely unclassified in that same database. Its eastern border butts up against the western border of "12.1"

There's a parcel of "unclassified" land that kinda surrounds the northern glen for a ways, then cuts across the ridge to the southern glen into the "Wild Lands." I'm hoping that this can be used to access the falls from below, and plan on investigating this aspect. From what I saw on my drive-by, it's going to be a fun hike/climb, which may be thwarted by terrain, but I'm game to find out.
That does look like a great place, lots of waterfall bang for your buck. I count up to 5 or more falls on the right hand stream (facing uphill from the lake) maybe more, hard to tell, before you reach the main falls. Both of the main falls look great, and the house on the left hand stream reminds me of the Frank Lloyd Wright house "Falling Water", being right on top of the fall itself. Lots of houses around there though, but with the permission of the right people, worth looking into.
Got some pics of the lower parts of the glens, taken from Rte 34. I didn't take these, my friend and fellow waterfaller Ben took them with his Droid phone. Three words: Looks Like Fun!
The only "POSTED" sign Ben saw, and he was there specifically scouting for them. It's marking the property on the northern side of the northern/left glen, and is marked away from the creek, which can be seen in the background. This corresponds with the unclassed land on the map(s). Ben specifically noted that this was the ONLY sign he saw - there is nothing posted at the southern glen. I still would feel better talking to the landowners before trying to access the property. To me, a lack of signage is a good sign that the landowner may be amenable to people hiking or climbing. Signage is the landowner shouting "STAY AWAY, LEAVE ME ALONE, DON'T EVEN ASK."
