To get to this location, travel NYSR 12 to Lyons Falls. Find
the bridge crossing the Black River and continue on the Lyonsdale
Road. Shortly after the Lyonsdale Road becomes the Marmon
Road, the Hunkins Road will be on the left. This ends in a
"T" on the Fowlersville Road. Go left and you will
shortly cross the Fowlersville Bridge. Just past the bridge,
there is a dirt road on the left. A
short distance up this road, there is a parking area on the
right. Across the road from this, there is a trail leading
to the river. As you proceed downstream, you will see the Fowlersville
Falls. Less than 1/4 mile further down, you will find
this site. Between the Fowlersville
Falls and downstream of Ager's Falls, which are
the two main waterfalls in the area, there are several smaller
falls or rapids. This stretch of the river is very popular with the kayakers
and many of these stretches carry names that are used by the
whitewater community. This particular site does not have a
name attached to it. We have included it here because it is
a nice little drop and is easily accessible.
The Moose River flows into the Black River just a few miles
downstream from this location in Lyons Falls. The Black
empties into Lake Ontario in the Jefferson County community of
Dexter.
