Although topographical maps locate these falls a little further upstream, we were told by residents of a home adjacent to the South Sandy Creek that these falls are the only ones in that area.  They are visible from the bridge on Jefferson County Route 91 that crosses the South Sandy Creek.  The bridge is just south of the intersection with CR 85.

Noted simply as "falls" on these maps, they are technically unnamed and have no common local name.  We have tentatively called them this because there are two waterfalls that we know of on the South Sandy Creek and these are the furthest upstream.  These pictures were taken in the summer during a relatively dry period.  There is a much heavier flow in the spring.

The South Sandy Creek flows into Lake Ontario.
