All Quiet at Split Rock Falls

Split Rock Falls, at eight feet high, is a small but scenic waterfall that drops through a natural cleft in an exposed rock ledge along the Coxing Kill. The falls are situated within the Mohonk Preserve and make for a popular swimming hole and summer picnic location as well as serving as a convenient trailhead for hikers.
