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 is visible looking south from the bridge on NYSR
12 in the village of Copenhagen. There are 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. You can reach this area 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. 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.
