It is our understanding that there are three or four waterfalls on
the Jenny Creek. Technically unnamed, and not
located on topographical maps, this is the
first you encounter and the one closest the outlet, so we have
dubbed it the Jenny Creek Lower Falls. Heading east on New York State Route
3 from Harrisville, you will encounter the hamlet of Pitcairn.
Just past this, the Jayville Road will exit to your right.
Coming from the east on Route 3, it is 3.9 miles from the
intersection of St. Lawrence County Route 23.
The Jayville Road is paved for the first 0.8 miles and then
turns to dirt and gravel. About one mile in, you will see
these falls right next to the road.
The falls contain two drops totaling about 30 feet. There
are no trails, handrails or fences here, but due to their
proximity to the road, you can get a good view and several vantage
points allow you to take good pictures.
The Jenny Creek flows into the Big Creek which flows into the
West Branch of the Oswegathchie River. This joins the main
channel of the Oswegatchie near the hamlet of Talcville in the
town of Edwards. From here it flows into the St. Lawrence
River in Ogdensburg.
