FOUND! Deer River: Unamed or Deer Falls!

Postby Artist4God » Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:39 pm

This may already be oh here somewhere, but I didn't see these falls listed anywhere on this site...so, I'm adding them now.

My husband and I were driving down Rt. 26 in the town of "Deer River" in Lewis County (we didn't know exactly where we were until we looked it up today on Google Earth) and we stumbled upon these lovely unnamed or "Deer Falls" (I'm not sure which). My "guesstimate" is that they are about a 10-15 foot drop and that the river there was about 25 feet wide? I have videos which I'll add ASAP.

Nice find Rose! I wonder why military personel arent allowed to enjoy the falls? It doesnt prohibit civilians...just warns that its dangerous. The sign says "Kings Falls"

I believe the "Kings Falls" refers to another part of the falls in the river (in a town called 'Copenhagen') that shows the entire area of the river 'off limits' to the military. I wonder too about the "off limits" to the military personnel, but am guessing it specifies them as it is near the huge army base of Fort Drum? It sure was pretty tho! I was hoping to see at least one falls in our trek through unknown (to us) territory of the Tug Hill Plateau. I hope to make it a bit further East to the Adirondacks themselves soon!
