Bulkhead Falls is one of eight waterfalls on the South Branch of
the Grasse River which are fairly easy to access from the Tooley
Pond Road. This road, which has significant lengths that are
unpaved, connects CR 27 in the hamlet of Degrasse to NYSR 3 near
Cranberry Lake. Like many of the falls on this road, it is
on DEC maintained state land, accessible to the public.
This particular falls is about 3.5 miles from the Degrasse end.
Just before a turn in the road, you are very close to the river.
Just behind a sign that states "No motor vehicles allowed
beyond this point", you will find a trail that takes you to
Bulkhead. Actually there are many of these signs posted
periodically along the road. This one is closest to the 3.5
mile point.
This waterfall covers a significant stretch of the river at
this point, with several drops. Actually, the trail
mentioned in the previous paragraph brings you in at the bottom of
the falls. A bit further down the road, there is another
trail that brings you to the middle of the stretch of falls, but
the entrance to this trail is not marked.
The Grasse River flows into the St. Lawrence River in Massena,
in St. Lawrence County.
Note: Depending upon which map or sign you are using,
this river is referred to as both Grasse and Grass.
