To get to here, travel NYSR 12 to Lyons Falls. Find the
bridge crossing the Black River and continue on the Lyonsdale
Road. About a mile before you get to the Agers Falls public
recreation area, you will find a parking lot on your left with
signage indicating the "Moose River Hiking Trail". Follow the trail from here and you will find
Powerline.
This is a combination small waterfall/stretch of rapids, named by the whitewater community
that is very active on this section of river. Its name comes
from the fact that electric power lines cross the river at this
point.
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.
