Factory Falls
Factory Falls is so named because it was used as a power source for an adjacent woolen mill in the early 1800"s. This multi-tiered falls drops a total of 18 feet into a large dark pool.
Fulmer Falls
Fulmer Falls is a tumultuous crashing falls which drops into an enclosed bowl. The downstream view of the falls is partially obscured from the left and right, as if peering through a partially closed rock wall curtain. This is the highest falls in the Park, dropping 55 feet.
Deer Leap Falls
Deer Leap Falls is a double, narrowly choked falls, which drops 30 feet into a large shallow feature-less pool. The park's trail provides a bridge just above these Falls. It is challenging to compose a photograph that does not include the trail bridge.
