Description: Rocky Falls is a beautiful split stream waterfall located near Heart Lake outside of Lake Placid. The trail starts at the Adirondack Mountain Club's Heart Lake Property. There is a parking fee of $10 for a full-day ($5 for ADK members) that you will have to pay. The trail is mostly flat over gently rolling terrain. It is actually a 220 foot descent to get to Rocky Falls. You can continue along the trail 0.1 miles to a lean-to located on the opposite side of Indian Pass Brook which is the brook that flows over Rocky Falls. This is great place to stop to have lunch or a snack before returning to Heart Lake.
