T Lake Trail from Old Piseco Road; final falls continuation requires confirmation
DEC gives 3.7 miles and 820 feet of climbing to the lake, not the waterfall. The local Arietta guide estimates ten miles round trip to the falls but advises checking access with DEC; treat that as approximate, not a verified maintained route.
