フランクリン郡周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Flume Falls is a dramatic waterfall that you can see right from the road. It's definitely worth stopping your ride to grab a photo! Although there is a shoulder, it's a little narrow and drivers are also sure to be looking at the falls, so use caution when pulling over.

This knob is reached via one of the older trails in the area, which gets quite a bit steeper as it nears the knob. You can get a great view from here, but not a lot of comfort — there isn't enough space to really share the viewpoint, sit down and have a picnic, or anything like that.

These dramatic waterfalls are a great destination in their own right, or as a quick side detour just before or after a longer hike in the Flume trail network.

A wide open area to take a break amongst the washed out Marcy Dam

The washed out Marcy Dam that won't be repaired. A wide open area perfect to take a rest break with plenty of sun and shade available. Water access is good.

Please note that I recorded only the one way route to the lake, thus taking the same route back to the parking implies a hike of 15 km. The trail is not so heavy in terms of altitude, first through the woods towards the Macy damm and later over a boulder path to the lake. Lake relatively shallow, and there was no swimming. Nevertheless great to dip your feet in the lake.
