The ultimate adventure guide

The entrance to the Whiteface Mountain Ski Center.
You will cross the bridge that spans the West Branch Ausable River. This is a popular spot for fishermen.
Looking upriver from the bridge. There is a dam in the distance, and not much further up is 40-foot Wilmington Notch Falls.
Signs are present to help locate the trailhead.
Without the trail register, the trail is easy to miss.
The first and largest waterfall lies down this spur trail.
40-foot Stag Brook Falls is the star attraction of this trail.
The trail up from Stag Brook Falls can be difficult to locate. Ascend left of this large boulder and look for red blazes. The trail is marked with newer red blazes as well as the old blue blazes.
As the trail climbs up past Stag Brook Falls, there is an opportunity to view it from the side.
Another 4-foot waterfall just past the top of the main falls.
A flume-like waterfall just above the main falls.
It's waterfall after waterfall on this trail.
The top section of the previous two-part cascade.
This waterfall has been referred to as "Footbridge Falls" due to the small bridge that spans the brook at one of its narrowest points.
Picnic Table Falls was named by a guidebook author due to the picnic table near its pool. This was done to offer a point of reference.
This 15-foot waterfall is at the base of a long slide that holds a variety of smaller waterfalls.
A hiker pauses to capture a photo of this 20-foot block waterfall.
Side-view of the block cascade.
This large slide fall has been worn smooth by the water.
Each waterfall here seems to have its own personality.
Stag Brook is a waterfall-lover's dream.
