The Hamlet of Colton is located on NY
56, a few miles east of Potsdam. At the intersection
of Main Street, proceed northeast. There are two parking
areas. The first is on the left just before crossing
the bridge. For the second, which is the preferred
route for waterfalls, take the left after crossing the bridge
and drive behind the fire hall.

The Tubs
is the fourth named stretch on the
Stone Valley Trail as you hike
the east side of the river from the parking area at the Colton Fire
Hall. This location is about 0.7 mile from the beginning of the
trail and 0.2 mile beyond the Narrows. Next comes the Tubs, a
waterfall which cuts diagonally across the river, with about a 20
foot drop. At least two rocky islands are in the center of
the river here resulting in a couple of pretty little waterfalls.
The Raquette River empties into the St. Lawrence River in Massena,
New York.
