Schuyler Falls Quadrangle

On our first trip to view this waterfall, we were able to park on the edge of 22B and walk to the water's edge and take pictures.  On a return trip on May 5, 2016, we found a different situation.  We could see posted signs as we looked down toward the properties along the river.  We drove down a side street that took us to the area by the river and found that all of the homes along that stretch by the waterfall have posted signs of one kind or another there.

Limited views can still be had from above but neither the view or the photo opportunities are very good.

As for the waterfall itself, the river is going through a steady descent.  There is a long span of rapids before and after this small plunge just below the bridge.

The Salmon River empties into Lake Champlain just south of the city of Plattsburgh.
