These falls can be seen from the bridge on NYS Route 289 that
crosses the Sandy Creek in Belleville. Our topographical
maps indicated that the falls should be further upstream. We
talked with two or three people in Belleville and none of them
knew of the existence of another set of falls. We later
found a young man, perhaps late teens who told us that there is
another about a quarter mile upstream. It is only accessible
by water or through private land and we weren't able to locate it
on this trip. Based on the appearance of this site, we are
assuming that the actual falls we are looking for are further
upstream. We will go back and check into that at a later date.
These falls are quite small and not indicated on maps.
They are unnamed and have no common local name. We have
tentatively called them this because there are three waterfalls
that we know of on the Sandy Creek and these are between the upper
and lower.
The Sandy Creek flows into Lake Ontario.
