We went to Shelving Rock Falls after visiting Prospect Mountain. The falls are nice to see and pretty, but they are small. Just be advised the road we took to get there was beyond "dirt road" and you need to drive slow on it. Also, the path you have to hike to get to the falls is rocky, so if you have any disability or are elderly, I would say to skip this one. My sons who are 19 & 25 enjoyed it, but we do like nature hikes.

If you want to take a break from the excitement of Lake George village take the drive to Shelving Rock Falls. The trail is clearly marked and well maintained. It can be rocky in areas but I would not consider it at all strenuous (we did not go further than the falls themselves because we were with small children) . The falls are beautiful and the kids had fun wading in the water and watching the tadpoles. I highly recommend visiting the falls.

Once we arrived at the falls, the ride there was definitely worth it. You need to be prepared as most of the way in is unpaved. We actually had a road crew in front of us regrading the road as it had rained the day before. But the hike was quite easy and very picturesque and the falls, though smaller, are beautiful.

We arrived to begin this hike around 8:30 am. It was a long drive on a narrow dirt road with only one parking space. ( We later discovered a large parking area beyond the trail head) The trail began with large, riverbed rocks to cross over. The rocks were stable, but I was glad to have my grandson's hand for balance. The trail after the rocks was flat and easy. The falls have several large tubes in them and made them not very attractive. There was not much water either.The hike to the bottom was easy and uneventful. I would not do this hike again.

My sister and I were driving around one day and discovered this place. It was a short walk in-about a half mile or so, and a good climb down the mountain. It is a spot that is clearly used more by the locals than tourists as it is VERY off the beaten path. Definitely worth going back to!

We decided to make the drive thanks to all the great reviews... however, the drive was a bit long and the last stretch was through a one-and-a-half lane dirt road that is filled with pot holes, some big enough that I feared for my car's health. Take it slow and watch for those giant holes! Parking was super limited, and we had to drive a little ways off before we found what looked like a possible parking spot. The walk/hike was super easy/easy and short. The falls were pretty although kids and adults were climbing all over the rocks and the pools under the falls looked to be at capacity. we snapped a couple of pictures, which didn't look so nice with all the people in it, and decided to try out the rest of the trail as people had suggested that it led to a nice swimming area. The trail led to the shore of Lake George. It could have been a beautiful area to relax except it was filled with boats. There were people swimming off shore and we decided to make our trip worth it and cool off. However, before long we we found our self in shallow water with nowhere further to go as the boats were blocking the rest of the lake. There was also way too much oily pollution from the boats and jet skis. I say, skip this place, unless it's on the way and you'll be passing by anyway. I would not recommend going out of the way for it. If you do, I would suggest super early so as to hopefully avoid some of the crowds.

Very fun hiking trails, my boyfriend and I spent the whole day. The views of the lake and the mountains was beautiful.

Very nice and easy hike . Nice place to take pictures. Hike kind of stopped abruptly and wasn't sure were to go. Ride up to the trail is kind of scary especially if you have a bigger vehicle we had to push our windows in. Well worth the drive though.

The roads are Floored with small pebble rock but it was a comfortable ride even withMy sedan. From the parking lot it's just only 15 mins away.

I went to the falls in October and even in the fall they were flowing pretty good. It is an easy walk to the falls with just a short steeper section to get to the bottom on the falls. After checking out the falls, I recommend that you follow the brook downstream along the path to Lake George. There is a path with red markers that follows the shoreline for quite a ways. There are a lot of great views and good places for a picnic
