Greenwood Creek State Forest is located just off route 3 in the town of Pitcairn. There are three cascading falls around 6 feet tall each. It’s a nice quite place with a state picnic area and camping on the other side of the road. This would be a place to stop and stretch if traveling from the west. More info at the DEC’s website Greenwood Creek.

I bet there's literally hundreds of falls in the Adirondacks. You'll never be caught up with that region. ;)

how right you are Chris, and many with no name.

In the Adirondack Explorer "2009 Outing Guide" they have a artical called "pedaling back in time" which starts and ends in Degrasse(not far from Greenwood) it's a 40 mile bike ride and they list the following falls: Twin Falls, Basford Falls, Sinclair Falls, Bulkhead Falls, Rainbow Falls, Copper Rock Falls, Cooks Corners(also known as Windfall), Newton Falls (I belive man made it's on a reservoir)
