About Map: Auger Falls Via Griffin (East Side) ....
A little used way of hiking back to Auger Falls via NY 8 and Griffin and the Auger Falls Snowmobile Trail. You can either park on NY 8 or at the Griffin Parking lot, then hike back from there. It's about two miles, hiking along an old woods road. The best views of the falls are short bushwhack from the the trail when it runs along the river, heading south along the river, until you are looking directly over the falls.

More about Auger Falls...
This 40 foot falls is at the beginning of a series of drops, plunges and cascades totaling over 100 feet though this narrow gorge lined with Hemlocks on the Sacandaga River. Many potholes can be seen along the edge of the gorge when the water level is low.
5.0 miles N. of Wells. From Wells, drive N on Rte 30 to the junction of Rte 30 & Rte 8. Continue another 1.7 miles on Rte 30 & turn right into a dirt parking area. Park and walk back towards Rte 30, and follow the old dirt road to the left, which parallels Rte 30. At the end of the road, look for the DEC register, marking the beginning of the trail. Follow the colored DEC trail markers for 0.3 mile to the top of the falls. You'll hear the roar of the falls shortly after you start the hike.
