Lyons Falls is another one of those waterfalls that has been a
power dam for many years. It is somewhat of a unique
situation, in that there is still an impressive set of falls below
the dam. Located on the Black River in the village of Lyons
Falls, it is just below where the Moose River joins the Black.
Lyons Falls isn't a very large village. Once there,
follow the boat launch signs. There are actually two
launches, one above and the other below the falls. Follow
the signs to the lower launch and you will get a good view of
these falls. There is also another spot just upstream where
you can get a good view at the top of the falls.
The Black River empties into Lake Ontario at the Black River
Bay, just southwest of the village of Dexter.
