Lyonsdale Quadrangle

This location has been named by the whitewater community that is very active on this stretch of river.  This particular site is about 1/2 mile downstream of the Fowlerville Falls.  It is not the 5' ledge just below Fowlerville Falls (which we have dubbed Fowlerville Lower Falls), but downstream of that and around the corner.  

The funnel is actually a section of rapids that covers a considerable stretch of the river.  Rather than pictures, we have provided a Bing Maps image to give you an idea of this area.  The name comes from the fact that the beginning of this section covers a wider spot in the river and by the end it has narrowed, similar to the shape of a funnel.  It is very possible that the drop we called Fowlerville Lower Falls may actually be the beginning of the Funnel.

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.
