This location is easily found on the Belfort Road, just south
of the hamlet where the road crosses the Beaver River.
Once a series of rapids and small waterfalls flowing downstream
from the Belfort Pond area on the Beaver River, Belfort has been
the site of a power dam for many years. Just downstream of
the dam there is a small waterfall just under and below the
bridge. The water makes a small drop just under the bridge
and then plunges into a small gorge. This was the route and
site of the original falls there.
The Beaver River flows into the Black River, which empties into
Lake Ontario at the Black River Bay, just southwest of the village
of Dexter. |
