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.
