LiDAR & 3D terrainAbout Eggleston Falls
Eggleston Falls is a small, picturesque waterfall tucked into a wooded ravine near the town of Corinth, New York. Its modest size and leafy setting make it a peaceful destination for nature lovers and photographers looking for a quieter outing away from busier regional attractions. The atmosphere at the falls is serenely intimate, especially after spring runoff or following rain when the stream runs lively. The falls lie near the town of Corinth (population about 6,500 at the 2020 census) in northeastern Saratoga County, north of Saratoga Springs, making Eggleston Falls an easy day trip from the Capital Region. Because the site remains relatively low-profile, visitors can often enjoy a more solitary experience—bring a camera, water, and footwear suited for natural trail conditions.
The Setting
Eggleston Falls sits at 1,004 feet along the Sacandaga River, in the foothills of New York.

How we calculate this
This is a transparent outlook, not a precise forecast. We take the waterfall's current flow strength (how it ranks against its historical normal for today, from the nearest USGS stream gauge), carry that ranking forward along the gauge's seasonal curve, and nudge it for forecast rain. Confidence is highest for the next day or two and falls further out. Always check official conditions and your own judgment before visiting — high flows can be dangerous.
