About Bass Lake Falls
Bass Lake Falls is a waterfall in New Jersey, on Blair Creek.
It's fullest after rain, and flow can drop off during dry spells — plan around recent weather.
Plungeworthy rates Bass Lake Falls 3/10 — one for the list. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
Know what this listing is: Bass Lake Falls is a real 40-foot waterfall on Blair Creek north of Blairstown — a century-old postcard advertised it at exactly that height — but it sits on the campus of the Princeton-Blairstown Center, a private nonprofit outdoor-education camp that runs a small hydro generator at the base of the dam.
This is not the same land as the public Blair Creek Preserve a few miles north — that preserve doesn't reach the falls.
One hiking aggregator lists it as a free 0.1-mile walk. That's boilerplate, and it's wrong; the coordinates land on the camp's private entrance. We don't publish directions onto private land.

Before you go
The pin marks the feature, not a trailhead or a legal route in. Some sit on private land or need a real hike, and conditions change with season and rain. Check local access, don't trespass, and never enter water — hot or cold — where it isn't safe.
