The Trenton Falls Scenic Trail contains a number of waterfalls
and dams. We would ask you to refer to our Trenton
Falls page for general information about the area. Also note that it is only
open on a limited basis. The Town of Trenton website should
be consulted to find those dates. The Mill Dam Falls is a
short distance upstream from the Upper High Falls.
Although there is no longer a mill at this locations, it gets
its name from the fact that a mill did operate there in years
past.
Due to damage sustained several years ago, the trail to Mill
Dam Falls is no longer open. You can, however, see the
drop from the viewing platform at Upper High Falls. Also,
we do have some contributor photos that were taken before that
damage occurred.
Mill Dam Falls became officially named was it was entered
into the GNIS on July 3, 2019.
The West Canada Creek empties into the Mohawk River, which then
flows into the Hudson before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
