Catfish Falls is located on the Chaumont River in the hamlet of
Depauville. In fact, when the community of Depauville was
first settled around 1816, it was called Catfish Falls.
From NYSR 12 in the hamlet, turn onto CR 179. Within a
tenth of a mile, you will see a mill pond with a fountain on your
left. You will cross a bridge which goes over the outlet of
this pond. Just a few feet downstream from here is the
falls, which can easily be seen from the walkway over the bridge.
The Chaumont River empties into Lake Ontario in the village of
Chaumont, just west of Watertown in Jefferson County.
