With cobblestone mill ruins, a 200 year old cemetery at the property entrance and a large dam at the top of some of New York's most beautiful waterfalls, this is the former site of one of the Georgia Pacific's many logging mills dating back to the early 1800's and a part of Adirondack history. Surrounded by bedrock, huge boulders, massive pine trees and miles and miles of trails, the Fowlerville Falls offer days of exploration and/or relaxation. There is a large swimming hole at the top of the falls, just off of the South-facing bedrock bank, where you can swim or lay in the sun. The falls, themselves, are almost 500 ft. across (at the widest point) and approximately 150 ft. in length (from top to bottom), ascending at approximately a 40-45 degree angle, making them navigable by foot. In the drier months (and, of course, depending on rain fall), most of the falls are dry, with only 50 - 100 ft. of water flow, making them navigable by foot. There are many little pools and flowing water across the bedrock to explore, along with the rest of the river, the surrounding woods and adjacent miles and miles of atv/hiking trails. If you are kayaker, there river above the falls is calm and fairly shallow, ranging from .5 - several feet in depth. And if you are white water enthusiast, Fowlerville Falls (and the Moose River) is a nationally rated and renowned spot, boasting a class III-IV under normal release conditions, and a dangerous, cold class V under spring runoff conditions. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Learn more about this land: A raw, pine forest lining the bedrock banks of Port Leyden's Fowlerville Falls, just inside of the Adirondack park. The former site of one of Georgia Pacific's old logging mills, the property has private access to beautiful water falls, a large swimming hole just off of a large, South-facing rock bank, untamed, clean pine forests, ATV and hiking trails, trout & small mouth bass fishing, many fire pits and areas to camp throughout the property.A raw, pine forest lining the bedrock banks of Port Leyden's Fowlerville Falls, just inside of the Adirondack park.

Adirondack Waterfall Oasis

The Perfect Hipcamp Experience

This is the absolute perfect hipcamp and I can’t thank David enough for being such an amazing host. The land is so clean and well-maintained, the views of the falls are breathtaking, and we saw almost no one during our entire 2-day stay except for a few brave kayakers plunging down the rapids next to our camp site. We had no reservations letting our dog, Bean play off his leash and he had a fabulous time chasing beavers when the sun went down. Overall it was the perfect escape for two haggard Bostonites looking for a little peace and quiet. We can’t wait to come back!

Adirondack Waterfall Oasis

Oasis indeed!

We had an AMAZING time! This property is “choose your own adventure” with potential campsites all over. Once you come down the entrance you can make a left and experience riverbank camping. Go to the right and you have spaces to hang out next to a waterfall. Looks closely and you can see a beaver dam and a beaver slide. We put our tent up on the turnaround but lugged out table and chairs and cooking gear down the hill to eat and hang out by the waterfall. We found the river to be shallow enough in most parts to do some hiking on the riverbank and though the river. Don't forget to check out the old cemetery!

Wild & Wondeful

This property offers so much for everyone! RV, tent, hammocks, swimming, fishing, and beautiful sunsets. We were able to explore all over and every time we thought we had reached the end of the property, we continued to find more campsites and fire rings! It was such a nice way to relax and spend a weekend together. David was super supportive and easy to reach out to.
