This is an unnamed falls which is not identified on USGS
topographical maps. It is known locally as Grease Falls.
The origin of that name is uncertain to the locals as is the
spelling.
It is fairly easy to locate. From the intersection of NYS
Routes 3 and 58, go west 1.5 miles on Route 3. You will come
to a Sykes Road on your right. Be advised this section is
dirt. If you go another 0.1 mile, there is another access to
the Sykes Road which is paved, but not for long!
Within a quarter mile or so, the pavement ends. Follow this
road until you come to the first road that exits to the right.
The falls are actually at the end of this road, but this is
private land with a house on it. Continue on the left branch
of the road and you will come to a spot where the falls are
visible from the road. These photos were taken from this
stretch.
The Oswegatchie River flows into the St. Lawrence River in
Ogdensburg, New York.
