To get to here, travel NYSR 12 to Lyons Falls. Find
the bridge crossing the Black River and continue on the Lyonsdale
Road. The first cross road you come to will be Shibley Road
on the left. Turn here. After crossing the bridge,
there will be a dirt road on the left. A short distance in,
you will find a parking area on the right.
There has been a hydroelectric facility at this
location for many years. There is still a very nice
waterfall below the facility. To get the best views of it,
cross the road from the parking area. There is a trail leading
to the river. Proceed downstream and you will have several
views of the site.
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.
