Beardslee Falls is listed in Russell Dunn's Mohawk Region Waterfall Guide as a "historic" waterfall.  The entry goes on to indicate that it is not accessible because it is on private land.  To us, a historic waterfall is one that once existed, but for whatever reason, no longer does.  There are two waterfalls in St. Lawrence County, for example, that are listed on the USGS GNIS, but are no longer there because they were flooded over when dams were built on the Raquette River. 

All indications are that this waterfall does still exist.  The coordinates we have listed are approximations based on various information found.  If anyone has more specific information, please contact us.

The East Canada Creek forms the boundary line between Herkimer and Montgomery Counties in this region.  We have tentatively placed this waterfall on the county line.  Please note, however, that there is actually a stretch of this creek, just north of where we believe this waterfall to be, where the county line veers east toward the bank on the Montgomery County side.  It is possible that if the waterfall is slightly north of where we believe it to be, that is is entirely in Herkimer County.

Also according to Russell Dunn, there is another waterfall, about 15' tall, just upstream of this location.

The East Canada Creek flows into the Mohawk River just downstream of this waterfall.  The flow then continues into the Hudson River before reaching the Atlantic ocean in New York City.
