| Directions
From US 11 in downtown Canton, turn on Park
Street and proceed past St. Lawrence University. As
you leave the village, Park Street becomes CR 27.
The first intersection is a four-way stop. Take a
right on CR 25. After crossing into the town of Russell,
look for the Dutton Road on the left. A short
distance down this road, you will cross the Little River.
The waterfall is just downstream from this location.

This is an unnamed waterfall that is listed on the World
Waterfall Database as Canton Falls. We have opted to not call this Canton Falls because it is not
in Canton, either the village or the town. Rather, we have
dubbed it the Wallace Mill Falls because it is located at a site
of a former mill run by a Mr. Wallace.
Because
we know people who live in this area, we were allowed access to
the site.
Although the mill is long gone, there are still
remnants of pieces of the mill. There is now a very nice
slide waterfall just below what is left of the dam. It was
either knocked down or simply deteriorated over time.
The Little River feeds into the Grass River just south of the
village of Canton near CR 25. The Grass River empties into
the St. Lawrence River in Massena, in St. Lawrence County.
