Now, finally got up to the biggest falls on Decker Creek. There is one more above the big one, accessible by a path to the left of this falls. Nice creekwalk, I see some of the falls on Decker Creek used to be called 'Pierce's Falls' and 'Punchbowl Falls'. Lots of old factories. To get here I just parked at Indian Mound, took the trail down to where I would hit Montville Falls, and just bear left and go up Decker Creek instead, climbing a couple of smaller 10-15' waterfalls along the way.

Bit hairy to get up here in this much water, but not TOO bad

Great shot. I love the added character of that old mill that lends itself to these falls. I'm heading east Sunday, don't know where yet but Moravia might be it.
