I deliver supplies to body shops that uses our products. So I get to travel around the Syracuse area making deliveries. On my lunch time, I sometimes get to talk to local people in an area and explain that I "hunt" waterfalls. They sometimes in turn ask me if I ever looked at "****" Falls ? I get as much information I can from them as to location etc. Then I come to NY Falls and look up the falls in that county, to see if it's listed. If not listed then I have a new quest !!! I read how Matt is updating a map to show all waterfalls by name. I think that's great for everyone involved. I'm not a computer wiz, but if I can be of some help ? I'll try my best to help out. Just email me and let me know what I can do ?
Monday on my lunch, talking to a friend at his eatery I found my next quest and will be going there this Saturday 3/28/09 to take some pictures of at least one waterfalls in the area.
Have a nice day all !!

Welcome Marty,
sounds like a good quest, I look the ones miles from anywhere to photograph.

The best way to upload to this site is open an account in flickr or similar photo site, then link your pictures to here.

The best way to contribute is to post here and keep us updated about your adventures. My list is way out of date too. I have about 20 new accessible waterfalls to add to it.

Here is a falls I don't think is on your list & shouldn't be. It is a teeny one & definitely not worth traveling for.

[Matt]

Excellent shot!

I went back to my new quest. The falls is located in Jamesville NY and it's called Bamerick Falls. It's on private property BUT if you ask at the log cabin house, you can get premission to go in and view falls. Location: N 42.98293 W 76.07543, park on south side of the road, there's a little area to park. It was 67 F here and particailly sun. You can view my pictures at my web page: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/565509185SSrFWU . The falls is about 40 feet high top to bottom. The main falls is about 20 feet tall and 12 to 15 feet wide. Alot of deer in this area, so wear "tick" repellant.

There is another falls upstream from this one, on "Coye" road. It runs under the road and then drops some distance. And can be acessed from where it goes under the road, you'll need a good long rope to get down there, or creek walk farther down stream up to it. I'm not a mountain goat anymore hehehehe !!
Have a great day all !
Marty

Matt:
I looked at the link you had, those two areas look like ponds to me, not sure ? Jamesville is only about 45 minutes from my home, so i can go back and check it out. The link below shows a heavy construction vehicle working something, that something is now a very large house and a very large rotwiller, the owner ownes the falls (the cliff area) which you can see just south east of vehicle. This is the falls i shot. link: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&F ... &encType=1 . I'll see if i can get someone to go with me, looks like there maybe more possiblities in this area !! Also the link below shows an area farther up coye road. You can see in the picture a hole on this side, where the stream goes through and under road. The other side is where i looked to see a possible area, BUT it was sheer cliff area and deeper than the falls i shot down stream, about 60 to 80 feet i'd guess !
http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&F ... &encType=1 . I'm going to look at another map site for a better view of this area. Have a nice day !

Below shows an access point to the creek off smokey hollow road. I plan on going tommarrow and i'll try to get in here as one of my stops..
There is a possible 10 foot drop in this area that crosses the creek. I found it, looking at topo map on acme.

I went back to Jamesville on Sunday. The access road (transmission line road) N 42.98092 W 76.08685, could be used but there is no parking place, you would need to be dropped off. Coye road falls N 42.96044 W 76.09114, comes out from under the road about 12 feet down from top. The water does fall on a jagged rock formation and then flows down from there. Stebbins Gulf N 42.92387 W 76.05217, can be access from this little bridge and would have to be creek walked up to falls. Private property on both sides of creek. If you drive south from this point, Ransom road ends at Bush road. There is a access road in front of you which is cabled off to vehicles. I didn't see any posted signs close by. This road maybe used to access "The Tunnel" which is just south from here ( N42.91847 W 76.05655). Unfornatually topo maps aren't update with the current population in any of these locations. Anybody know where to find updated topo maps ? Please feel free to email me info.
Have a nice day !

Here's the most detail the USGS maps have on it.

[backpacker]

OK Matt
what's the link to downloading complete 7.5 minute topo maps?
I could use that link a lot.

[Matt]

I was shocked too when I found it right on the USGS website. I just did a search for Janesville. I don't recall how I got it exactly. Later, I'll figure out how... see if i can get them ALL and then build ourselves a nice little library.

[backpacker]

sound good I'll have to check it out!

[Matt]

I'm trying to find out what distribution rights I have with these maps. Perhaps I can make a page for people to download them from.

[Matt]

the maps are in the public domain, so i have a right to distribute them. i'm going to call USGS on Monday and see what I can get from them.
