Lake Placid Quadrangle

When you get to the Saranac River, there is a hydro facility on the right.  As the river goes under the bridge, there is a small island behind this plant.  This waterfall is at the point where the two channels converge behind the island.

Details on parking and where to see this drop will be posted soon.

Please note that we have listed this as being in the town of Plattsburgh.  Technically, the Saranac River is the town line between Plattsburgh and Schuyler Falls.  However, since this waterfall is located on the north side of the river, completely within the town of Plattsburgh, we have listed it that way.

Our thanks to Kelly Magnuson for sending in these photos and information.

The Saranac River flows into Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh.
