Oakwood Cemetery Troy NY

Postby Eddiebauer » Thu Sep 29, 2011 5:25 pm

I had been adding pics taken in the Oakwood Cemetery to another post and thought it needed its own topic. The Oakwood Cemetery is located in Rennsalear County in Troy NY. It is the resting place of Uncle Sam. There are a few nice hidden little waterfalls in the cemetery. If you find the ponds they have created by daming up the small streams they will lead you to the waterfalls.

Very nice pics Eddie! How tall would you say the one in the background of pic 2 is?

I would say they are around 40 to 50ft. There is a lot of debris at the base and steep banks which don't offer alot of perspectives of the larger falls.

oh wow.. those fall are pretty significant. Running year round or just seasonal?
Excellent photos. If you don't mind, I would like to move this to the waterfall section.

Matt I believe they run year round. Just different volumes of water. There is one more I haven't attempted yet that is in a narrow gorge with steep banks, maybe next time. Here are a few more that are upstream of the larger falls.


Feel free to move them to the waterfalls group if you like.
