Here's another one from the naturalhighs site that I've always wondered about...

And Im actually wondering if what you believe is School 7 fallls might be Henrie Gully...as her description is that it flows into the "West River tributary of Canandaigua Lake in Yates County." That puts it in the right area. The heights of the falls seem more acurate in relation to aerial views of the gully.

We visited McMillan about 5 years ago. It's a nice 20 foot high really wide falls. Maybe 50 feet wide. The width of the creek. It's on private property and the owners of the house at the creek entrance were very gracious and welcoming when I asked if we could walk the creek.

Silver Lake Outlet has a nice series of falls on it. A good side trip when visiting Letchworth.

Henrie is most likely some other gully, not School 7. In their description it says they went looking for School 7 gully and ended up at that gully instead.

Only she knows I guess...since those names arent documented anywhere. I would say that Henrie or School 7 (depending on your thinking)is the gully just north of there. The upper portion of the gully is near where Kaltenback Road dead ends.

Ok nevermind my previous ramblings. Acme Mapper does mark the gully near Caward Crossing as
"School 7".

Clifton Falls is posted heavily from Fry Road. The falls is just beneath the road and you can see the crest from the car. There is also a park just downstream that might offer access. Enechelon Glen in the "shh" category is in Ithaca. I wont say the name out of respect to Ruth but its pretty easy to figure out and one that's been discussed before.
