Copenhagen Falls

Directions

The upper area is visible looking south from the bridge on NY 12 in the village of Copenhagen.  The remaining drops can be reached by turning on the road between the Cottage Inn and the river.  This will take you to a dirt/stone road that leads into an old quarry where you will see this section less than .1 mile in.

Copenhagen Quadrangle

An unnamed section, we have dubbed this area Copenhagen Falls, since it is located in that village.  Spanning an area of about a tenth of a mile or so of the river, we have included it because it is an interesting span of topography.  It is typical of the sheets of rock in this area.

The upper area, which is visible looking south from the bridge on NY 12, contains four or five drops of around three feet each which are actually quite unimpressive.  Just downstream of this, there are several other drops of eight to ten feet each, just upstream from High Falls.  The river probably drops a total of 50 feet in this stretch.  The largest drop is no more than 10 feet, which is what we have indicated in the chart.

The Deer River flows into the Black River which empties into Lake ontario just outside of Dexter, just west of Watertown in Jefferson County.
