Honeysuckle Cascade

Description

Honeysuckle cascade is a very small waterfall. It is 1.2m high with a 2m wide crest, with a cascading creek below that empties into the marshy area to the west that flows only during periods of heavy snow-melt. It appears as if the watercourse from the upstream marshes typically flows through a culvert that terminates below the escarpment ridge into the marsh. There also seems to be some karst activity in the creekbed above the waterfall, which may divert the flow away from the falls' crest in all but the heaviest snow-melt scenarios. MKam was fortunate enough to capture it flowing on two consecutive days in February of 2019. There are narrow game trails in the area that connect to both Mohawk falls and Upper Mohawk Cascade.


To access, enter the woods at Honeysuckle Crescent, behind the community mailbox, and head west down the hill for approx 60m.
