South Edwards Quadrangle

On a stretch of the Oswegatchie River near the Edwards/Fine town line and between the South Edwards Dam and Grease Falls, there are six drops. 

The property around this drop is private so it is a water access only situation.

This drop is a little over 1.5 miles upstream from the canoe launch.  It is only about 200 feet above Rock Dam Falls.  In keeping with our policy of giving names to these unnamed falls base on the waterway they are on, and since this is the fourth of the drops you encounter from the canoe launch, but one downstream of it is commonly named, we have chosen this name.  It should not be confused with Oswegatchie Falls, which is about 2.2 miles downstream from this location.

The channel divides around an island.  River right is pictured in the first photo in the array and river left in the second.

You will pass Oswegatchie River Falls #1 and #2, Rock Dam Falls and a stretch of rapids on the paddle to this one.  These will have to be portaged. 

The Oswegatchie River flows to the St. Lawrence River in the city of Ogdensburg.
