Schuyler Falls Quadrangle

At this parking area, there is a information kiosk telling about the several hydro facilities in the area, operated by New York State Gas and Electric Corp (NYSEG).  If you walk about 1/4 mile down this road, you will reach the Cadyville Substation.  This waterfall is right next to this.

Since this is just below the main waterfall at the Cadyville Dam, we have cataloged it as the Cadyville Lower Falls.  You can get a fairly good look at this waterfall, but unfortunately, we have to apologize for the photos.  Between the chain link fence you have to look through and the deep gorge you are peering into through the foliage, photo ops are limited.

We have also included a Bing Maps image of the location.  Our photos are of the area directly under the bridge that you can't see on the satellite image and the satellite image shows a section just upstream that we couldn't see from our point on the crest of the gorge.

If you walk a little further down the road, you will come to the Cadyville Dam which is home to Cadyville Falls. 

The Saranac River empties into Lake Champlain just downstream in the city of Plattsburgh.
