Shurform

County: Lewis
Town: Lyonsdale
USGS Map: Port Leyden
Waterway: Moose River
Latitude: N 43.xo
Longitude: W 75.xo
Drop: ~xx'

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 come to a small waterfall/stretch of rapids known as Powerline.

It is our understanding that Shurform is just upstream from here and accessed by this hiking trail.  We had intended to visit it on our trip to other sites in this area in August 2011, but sometimes things happen!  Our notes to that effect were misplaced and we overlooked it.  We'll catch it in 2012.

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.
