Utilizing google imagery, this location is riddled with drops, cascades, and flumes. Parking for the Napanoch Falls was on the corner of Hwy 55 and Clinton Street and Water Street (#2 41.74164, -74.37697).
We found a view of falls further upstream (#1 41.74208, -74.38047) on Old Lackawack Road. There is another set of falls below Napanoch Fall (41.73956, -74.37735), located down from the corner of Irish Cape Road and Old Lackawack Road. Further upstream, and above these two locations, are what appears to be 2 more sets of Falls. We plan to revisit the area sometime in the spring since there seem to be many drops on the creek worth taking note of!
