Kent Falls is a waterfall on the Saranac River at the Kent Falls Dam in Clinton County, New York, about 2.2 miles west of Morrisonville.
The falls
The river drops at Kent Falls Dam. The World Waterfall Database's New York listing puts a height of 65 feet on the entry that comes up for this stretch, though that entry appears to match Schuyler Falls, a separate waterfall in the county, so it isn't clear the figure describes Kent Falls itself. The listing marks the feature Unconfirmed.
Getting there
A greenway feasibility study names NYSEG as the dam's owner and shows public parking north of the river, near the closed Kent Falls Road bridge.
On site
American Whitewater says there is no legal access to the half-mile Class IV bypass reach at Kent Falls. State fishing-rights mapping covers the Saranac River at Kent Falls and Morrisonville, but it does not establish access to the waterfall itself. Base access, swimming conditions and hazards at the falls are not documented.
