Schuyler Falls is located in the town and hamlet of the same
name. New York State Route 22B is the main north-south route
through town. Park on the east side of the highway just
north of the bridge across the Salmon River.
As you walk back toward the bridge, you will find a path and a
metal stairway leading down. You can make your way all the
way to the river's edge. Use caution on this stairway.
It is old and rusty and not very well maintained. On our
return to the car, we opted to climb the grassy bank rather than
trust the stairs a second time!
At this point, 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.
