Port Leyden Quadrangle

One of several sections of waterfalls or rapids on the lower part of the Moose River, this site is directly under the bridge on the Lowdale Road at Lyonsdale, in the left channel of the river.  This stretch of the river is very popular with the kayak community.

It is our understanding that the entire span of the river here was originally known as Lyonsdale Falls.  Since the whitewater community has dubbed the right channel "T-Bone", we have posted pictures of this side separately.  The name apparently comes from the shape of the drop.  After sliding under this bridge, the river comes to an island where the water flow is diverted at right angles around it, in a "T" shape.  The water going left joins the water flowing out of Lyonsdale Falls

To get to T-Bone, cross the first steel bridge on the Lowdale Road which takes you to an island.  T-Bone is located under and downstream of the second one-lane bridge, which was closed to vehicular traffic in 2013.  

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.
