This is the second of
three waterfalls along this stretch of the Raquette River.
Due to the length of the hike, it would stand to reason that you
will visit this one after
Lower Falls.
Please refer to that page for common information. Simply continue
on the trail along the river for about another 0.1 mile to get here.
Raquette Falls is a two part drop. Rapids above reach the
first drop of about two feet. About 20' further downstream,
there is a horseshoe drop of another six feet.
The Raquette River empties into the St. Lawrence River in Massena,
New York.
