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.
