 This campground is operated by the Town of Waverly.
It is a typical campground with tent and RV sites as well as cabins
to rent. Many campers have "permanent" sites here ...
their RVs are left year-round. There is no charge to enter and view the falls.
You can see the falls from two different locations. Option
one is to park near the entrance and walk behind the office.
There is an overlook here and you can get right next to the
crest of the falls. You can also walk along the bank to
get up-close views.
Option two is to continue down the hill, either by walking or
by car, and take the first left past the St. Regis Pavilion.
You will find a footbridge on the left where you can view the falls. Your
views here are somewhat distant but unobstructed. With a good
lens, you will get nice photos of it.
The St. Regis River flows north into Canada and then empties
into the St. Lawrence River a short distance downstream from the
New York/Quebec border.
