Secret Caverns Billboard: The Waterfall

Cobleskill, New York

The 100-foot underground waterfall lies at the rear of Secret Caverns and at the heart of its many mysteries. Is it totally natural, or a total fake? Its clean vertical protuberance has been a centerpiece on every brochure the attraction has ever created. It is also the subject of a great t-shirt design, long available for purchase in the lodge.

On many Secret Caverns billboards, while the waterfall is visible, it often assumes a secondary position in the composition. A 1970s publicity brochure illustration is one of the most iconic depictions of the waterfall, in all its damp fecundity.
