Lyonsdale Quadrangle

Across the road from the parking area, there is a trail leading to the river.  As you proceed downstream, you will see the Fowlerville Falls.  Less than 1/4 mile further down, you will find this site.

Many of the stretches of the Moose River through this area have been given names by the whitewater community.   We have dubbed this particular drop Fowlerville Lower Falls because it is just downstream of Fowlerville Falls.  To our knowledge, it hasn't been labeled unless it is considered the beginning of the Funnel, a sections of rapids just below this.  In normal water levels, this is a small drop and probably wouldn't be considered significant but during heavy spring run-off, this can approach the status of a waterfall. 

The first six pictures in our array were taken during average summer flow.  The last two were from May 2014 when the flow was considerably above normal levels.

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.
