Tompkins Falls
Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2014 2:12 pm
I've seen this fall called Thompkins Falls, but based on a book search it's called Tompkins. This is considered a 26ft fall but the amount of water streaming down was low. So much of the falls is a trickle. This shot is about the only spot that had significant water. I'm assuming during the Fall and early spring this would produce much more water. There is a man made wall towards the bottom of the fall which appears to be built to divert water.
The book that I found the name of is New York Waterfalls: A Guide for Hikers & Photographers By Scott E. Brown.
What I found interesting are the balancing stones left throughout this falls which gives it extra uniqueness to it. I didn't encounter this in other falls. But the falls itself is a beautiful site without these stones. The attached photo is one of the balanced stones with a small upper fall behind it.
