Croghan Island is an interesting place. There
is a mill there that still operates on the power provided by the
dam. This is an unnamed area where the Beaver River flows
around an island. Apparently there once was a small waterfall
located there but a power dam was built for the mill. A retaining
dam was placed on the main channel but it is seriously deteriorating.
These pictures are of the retaining dam.
The Beaver River flows into the Black River, which empties into
Lake ontario at the Black River Bay, just southwest of the village
of Dexter.
