The Jenny Creek actually contains at least three waterfalls that
are fairly easy to access. Although technically unnamed,
this waterfall is noted on USGS topographical maps simply as
"Falls". This is the second of three waterfalls you will encounter as you drive up this road.
As such, we have dubbed it the Jenny
Creek Middle 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. At a little over 2.5 miles in, you
will see these falls right next to the road. Please note
that there is a private home just downstream and this area is
private and posted. You have a nice, unobstructed view of
the falls from the road. Please respect the homeowner's
property and rights.
The falls drop in four or five steps totaling about 10 feet.
The pictures we have here were taken from the road. We are
trying to contact the landowner to get permission to access the
creek-bed to get better 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.
