Moshier Rapids

Directions

In the village of Lowville, less than 1/4 mile south of the intersection of NY 12 and NY 26, NY 12 crosses the Mill Creek.  Just south of here, take River Street east.   This becomes the Number Four Road.  As you come through Watson, Millers Meat Market will be on your left.  Just past this, you will take a left-hand turn to stay on the Number Four Road!  Continue another 15.3 miles where you should take a right on the Stillwater Road.  In about two miles from here, take a left on the Moshier Road.  At 0.6 mile, there is a parking area on the right.

Number Four Quadrangle

We are still researching this location.  At the end of this road, there is a gate.  This is the hike one would take to get to Moshier Falls. 

Since the property between the river and the trail is posted by Brookfield Power who runs the hydro facility in that area, we can only assume that river access would be the only option.  It is our understanding that this area is opened periodically for whitewater activity so it is doable.

USGS topographical maps of this area show four waterfalls and one stretch of rapids downstream of Moshier Falls.  In our efforts to locate them, we checked the area on Google Maps.  The image below is of the area labeled as the rapids.  However, it appears to be a waterfall at this point.  There is an island in the middle of the river here.  These rapids are in the channel on the other side of the island at about the same point in the river as the location we have called Moshier Lower Falls #4 

If anyone has any information on locating these waterfalls, or pictures of them, please contact us.

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.
