 One of the many small, unnamed falls in northern
New York, these falls are on the Deer River in the hamlet of Deer
River and can be easily seen from the bridge there on Route 26.
The last photograph in this display is a copy of an old postcard
of these falls. This came from the collection of Scott A.
Ensminger of
falzguy.com. Notice this shows a dam and mill that previously
existed just above the falls. These were removed several decades
ago.
The Deer River flows to the Black River which empties into Lake
Ontario at the Black River Bay, just southwest of the village of
Dexter.
