River Road in the Town of Benson
Day 15 follows the water along River Road in the Town of Benson, Hamilton County, to an unnamed tributary feeding the Sacandaga River.
Tucked just off the roadway, this scenic waterfall tumbles roughly 40 feet across a series of rugged, mossy drops before ducking under the pavement and joining the main river channel. Local trail notes often suggest visiting during the spring snowmelt or following a heavy downpour to catch it at its best. November is certainly far from spring, but the steady morning rain worked in my favor, delivering plenty of volume and energy through each tier of the falls.
