A short distance south of the intersection of NYS Routes 3 and
812, the Kimball's Mills Road will exit east. On some maps,
this may be shown as the Pigtown Road. A bridge
crosses the Oswegatchie West Branch just north of an intersection
that is labled Kimball's Mills.
There are actually four falls at this point. Park at the
side of the road and proceed on the trail, which is fairly well
marked, downstream for about
1/10 of a mile. You will reach what we are referring to as
Falls #1. It is a drop of about 8 to 10'.
Falls #2, a 6 to 8' drop, is located just downstream of the
bridge. You can access it quite easily between the trailhead
and the bridge.
Falls #3 and 4, which are larger falls, are located about 1/4
mile upstream from the bridge. The trails to these are not
clear and bushwhacking is in order. According to our
information, the easiest hike is actually up the river bed.
We plan on returning to this location at a later date to do that
and get pictures.
If you enjoy trout fishing, you may want to bring your gear
with you on this hike. We have been told it is a great
location.
The West Branch of the Oswegatchie joins the main channel a few
miles downstream, just west of the hamlet of Talcville in the town
of Edwards. This then flows to the St. Lawrence River in
Ogdensburg.
