These falls are not even indicated on topographical maps.  We found two Internet sites about Lewis County waterfalls that referenced them so we thought we would check them out.  One of these sites made the following statement:  "This small cascade is a beautiful, tranquil escape right in your own backyard."  We will agree with half of that statement.  This is a beautiful location.  The part we take exception to is the "in your own backyard" part.  It is not in your backyard or my backyard.  It is in the backyard of a family that has been dealing with a disrespectful public for way too long.  It is private and posted land.  Please respect their property and privacy.

These falls descend through several drops and are truly gorgeous.  It is the kind of waterfall you'd expect to hike a significant distance to see.

Over the years, this location has been known as Silver Creek Falls and Silver Mine Falls.

The Silver Creek flows into the Mill Creek which flows into the Black River.  There is another Mill Creek in Jefferson County.  That one originates on Dry Hill and flows into Lake Ontario in Sackets Harbor.
