According to NewYorkUpstate.com, Laura Carusone of Queensbury witnessed this spinning ice disc with her cousin Jason Carusone and son Louis Allison, just below Bushnell Falls, and discovered the natural phenomenon.

Bushnell Falls proudly boasts a scenic 20-foot waterfall and is a popular Adirondack destination. It's located near John's Brook Ledge in Keene, NY which is about 90 minutes north of Albany.

Her son Louis Allison said the place was an "enchanted forest," and it's hard to disagree with him.  Take a look at the video here
