| Directions
In the village of Lowville, less than 1/4 mile south of the intersection
of NY12 and NY26, NY12 crosses the Mill Creek. Just south
of here, take River Street east. This becomes the Number
Four Road. As you come through Watson, Millers Meat Market
will be on your left. Just past this, you will take a left-hand
turn to stay on the Number Four Road! Continue another 15.3
miles where you should take a right on the Stillwater Road.
In about two miles from here, take a left on the Moshier Road.
At 0.6 mile, there is a parking area on the right.

We are still researching this location. At the end of this road,
there is a gate. This is the hike one would take to get to Moshier
Falls. USGS topographical maps of this area show four waterfalls downstream
of Moshier Falls. We have also been told of their existence by people
working in that area who didn't know specific locations.
Since the property between the river and the trail is posted by Brookfield
Power who runs the hydro facility in that area, we can only assume that
river access would be the only option. It is our understanding that
this area is opened periodically for whitewater activity so it is doable.
We have dubbed this waterfall Moshier Lower Falls #3. It is the
third waterfall indicated on maps below Moshier, a little over 2800 feet
downstream of it.
If anyone has any information on locating these waterfalls, or pictures
of them, please contact us.
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.
