Croghan Island is an interesting place. There is a mill
there that still operates on the power provided by the dam.
This is an unnamed area where the Beaver River flows around an
island. Apparently there once was a small waterfall located
there but a power dam was built for the mill. A retaining
dam was placed on the main channel but it is seriously
deteriorating. These pictures are of the retaining dam.
Turn on to Bridge Street, which becomes Resha Road, off Route
812 just north of the village of Croghan. This location is
almost immediately on your left.
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. |
