The
Hike to Trenton Falls

Old view
of the Power Company Water Tower from the Trenton Falls Bridge.
The tower is no longer there.
The trail follows the rim of the gorge on your right as
you look at the photo.

Trenton Falls Trail has been closed to the public for
years. Now in October 2004 it is available to the public. They have
completed renovation of the trail.
The
falls are located on the West Canada Creek near the tiny
hamlet of Trenton Falls. It was very popular
vacation spot at the turn of the century. The power
company now owns the property and has a power station
there. There is a trail back to the falls that starts at
the Trenton Falls bridge. You could see the power company
water tower (now gone) from the bridge. The trail
follows the rim of the Trenton Falls Gorge and moderately
difficult. There are warning signs along the trail. If
you go off the trail toward the gorge there is a sheer
drop off of several hundred feet. However, there are a
few safe vantage points to view the falls along the way.

Along the trail was this intriguing old moss
covered stone wall |
Old View of Water Tower
Looking back toward the setting sun the power company
water tower (No longer there.) is in view. The beginning of the gorge is
below the tower.

The Trenton
Falls Gorge
This is a look straight down from a ledge far above the
falls. The West Canada cascades over ancient rock layers,
then down the falls into very deep pools. |

Trenton Falls
This is Trenton Falls from a look out point along the
trail. The water actually falls from two levels with very
deep pools under each level.
Have fun on your trip to Trenton Falls!!!
