On a stretch of the Oswegatchie River near the Edwards/Fine
town line and between the South Edwards Dam and Grease Falls, there
are six drops.
The property around this drop is private so it is a water access only
situation.
This drop is a little over 2.1 miles upstream from the canoe launch.
It is about 1/2 mile above Falls #4. We originally had
this listed as Oswegatchie River Falls #5 but have recently made
a discovery. Our thanks to Bill Hill who found an on-line
reference to a state report from 1914 that names this stretch
Madison Chute.
You will pass Oswegatchie River Falls #1, #2, Rock Dam
Falls, Oswegatchie River Falls #3 and #4 and a couple of stretches of
rapids on the paddle to
this one. These will have to be portaged.
As a result of our Waterfall
Naming Project, Madison Chute was added to the Geographic Names
Information System data base on April 19, 2019.
The Oswegatchie River flows to the St. Lawrence River in the
city of Ogdensburg.
