Upper Chocolay Falls
smooth-domed waterfall into a shallow pool
A small drop along the quiet Chocolay River, these upper falls sit in a deep grove of woods and gently pour into a shallow pool. The waterfall itself flows over a domed formation to create an interesting and smooth scene. The easiest access to the drop is through private property, so either be prepared for a tough hike or ask for access.
Directions
On M-94, less than a mile east of US-41, head south on Town Line Road. .8 miles down Town Line turn right and follow the overgrown two-track for about a half mile. Park at the small clearing and continue down the road on foot, curving south and west towards the river. This logging track dies out in a thick undergrowth. Continue pushing through the thick stuff, heading west, until you bump into Chocolay River. Follow the river upstream to the falls.
