Newburgh Falls is a very small waterfall. It can be found in the Newburgh Conservation Area at the end of Factory St. Though the falls aren't big, it is a nice pleasant setting worth a stop if you are driving through.
Two long, low plunge falls each form steps in the river that are less than 1m high and about 15-20m wide. The Napanee River flows swiftly over flat limestone and has removed all but the largest blocks from the river bed.
Note, it is private property on the south side of the river, but if you turn into the park it is public access. The photo here shows the full scene as it would look from downstream.
For more interesting photography, try setting your camera up right beside the edge of one of the drops. With some practice, you can make this waterfall look much bigger and impressive than it really is.
