This facility is at the end of the dead-end Blake Road.
Blake Falls is another of the power dam/power plant locations along
the Raquette River. There is no longer a waterfall here.
Brookfield Power also runs this facility. The dam here
holds back the Blake Falls Reservoir. For the sake of accuracy,
the dam is on the Sylvan Falls topographical quadrangle, but the
plant operating there is just over the line in the Rainbow Falls
quadrangle.
The Raquette River empties into the St. Lawrence River in Massena,
New York.
