Northern New York Waterfalls: Beede Brook Falls

Northern New York Waterfalls passes on a visitor account: park at the Zander Scott trailhead for Giant Mountain on NY 73, walk a few hundred yards east, and go into the woods on the east side of the drainage that leads to the falls. A faint herd path comes and goes. The climb is steep, and the falls lie in a deep ravine, so take care getting down into it. There is no marked trail. Return the same way.
