This is one of many unnamed waterfalls in northern New York.
They are actually on the same creek that flows by the the
Burrville Cider Mill, a landmark in Jefferson County, several
miles upstream from it. I was told about these falls by an
old friend I met in college. He knew about them because he
dated a girl while in college that lived on that road. He
told me that they weren't too far off the road in a field and
could be seen from the road. What a difference 40 years
makes! They haven't moved but they are now in the backyard
of a new home that was built there. The day I visited, I
stopped to get permission from the homeowner to take some pictures
and perhaps get some additional information on the falls. No
one was home so I will stop back later to find out more.
These pictures were taken long range from the end of their
driveway.
Proceed on NYSR 12 south out of Watertown. Just south of
the hamlet of Burrville, you will cross the Rutland town line.
2.3 miles from this point, take a right on the Cook Road. In
about one-half mile, you will cross the Jacobs Creek. These
falls are in the backyard of a home just past this point.
The Jacobs Creek flows into the North Branch of the Sandy
Creek, which then flows into the Sandy Creek, which eventually
reaches Lake Ontario.
