| Directions
In the village of Lowville, less than 1/4 mile south
of the intersection of NY 12 and NY 26, NY 12 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.
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 #5.
USGS topographical maps of this area show four waterfalls
downstream of Moshier Falls. In our efforts to locate
them, we checked the area on Google Maps. As the image
below shows, there appears to be a waterfall at this point,
which is further downstream of the four waterfalls labeled on
the topo maps.
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.
