Jay, New York is one of many quaint villages and hamlets in the
Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. Located right on
State Highway 9N, the falls are easy to locate and provide a
roadside view. Take the John Fountain Road which is located
directly across from where Route 86 converges with 9N. The
Brick Store Lane will be on your right at the bottom of the
hill. A small parking area is provided next to the covered
bridge there. There is also another parking area on the
other side of the bridge, but vehicle traffic is not allowed on
the bridge.
The claim is made that this is the only remaining publicly
owned covered bridge in the Adirondack region. The falls are
just upstream and can easily be seen from the bridge.
The Ausable River East Branch joins forces with the West Branch
in Ausable Forks. The combined Ausable River empties into
Lake Champlain in the town of Peru.
