9/5/2015 Lewis County Ny Waterfalls, Croghan Beaver Falls (Croghan)
Beaver Falls Map Croghan
As you can see here Google imagery showed falls here, but there was no falls. I asked a couple of folks that were fishing from the tracks when was the last time they had seen any amount of water running, and they said next to never. I am not sure at this time when they would be.

Taylorville Whitewater Section Lewis County, NY 9/7/2015
The map below shows a good portion of the route that I had tracked.
This is where we parked, which was the start point of the tracking. (Note: We did not go to the end of Double Eddy Road to park, as there was no room to park at the time) From there we took the trail which comes out to the bottom of the second falls.
Above alternate parking
Above is the trail
When we got to the end of the trail we wanted to start from the put in at the first dam. The trail length is less then .1 mile.
In the photo above I tried capturing one of the guys coming thru, the next guy went under but came out okay.
Above shows the section to the right of the second dam, viewed from the main trail.
(Above) We are approaching the top of the Great White Slide Section. The following photos are of the Great White Slide area.
The following photos were taken down along the trail to where there was a picnic table. Note: In the photo above, where the tree line is at back end of photo is where the picnic area is.) Just continue down the trail from the bottom of the Great White Slide.
(Above) This is the trail viewed from the picnic area.
The next set of photos are taken at the picnic area. This section I believe is the Dogleg III Rapids and Mindscrambler III Rapids section. I took photos from the top, and then we walked around further down to get some lower views.
It was at this point we back tracked and went to our vehicle and drove down to the take out on Taylorville Road. Which is at the power plant. Silly me also thought I was still tracking, BUT did not turn it back on, so I will do my best to detail.
To view the Take Out section, and to view the Powerline Boof IV Rapids Section from the bottom. From the parking area you will walk through the gate and continue straight ahead following the small path to the river.
(Above) This is on your right before going through the gate. You will have the power plant on your left, the river straight ahead and then if you go right before the fence line the short graveled road leads to the canoe boat launch area.
The next set of photos are taken at the Take Out site.
The next set of photos are also taken from the Take Out section looking upstream towards Powerline Boof IV Rapids Section.
From here we back tracked back towards the parking area. When you reach the gate, turn and walk right along the fence line and follow the penstock a short distance. You will see a small path that leads again back to the river. The following photo is a visual from where I was standing at the trail that leads down to the river, and I am looking back up towards the parking area.
These photos are of the Powerline Boof IV Rapids Section
To explore this whole section from start to finish took us about 2 1/2 hours. For actual walking distance in both areas maybe about 1 1/2 miles.

This next set of photos were taken at different areas along Gomer Hill Road. We had meant to be on the next road over. Good thing! All of it are roadside views only.
BOTH MOORES FALLS AND SILVER CREEK FALLS ARE LOCATED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE HOME OWNER GRANTED ME PERMISSION TO ACCESS THIS WATERFALL AND ANOTHER ONE ON THEIR PROPERTY. THE HOME OWNER ALSO REQUESTED THAT I POST ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION ON THE LOCATION, BUT DID GRANT ME PERMISSION TO POST THE PHOTO. I WAS ALSO ASKED IF ANY RESOURCES OUT THERE HAD POSTED INFORMATION TO THIS LOCATION TO PLEASE REMOVE IT. THE HOMEOWNER STATED THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH FOLKS TRESPASSING, HAVING CAMP FIRES, AND EVEN TRYING TO CAMP, AS WELL AS LEAVING GARBAGE. THIS HAS LEAD TO THERE DECISION TO PRIVACY. PLEASE RESPECT HOME OWNERS. THE HOME OWNER ALSO STATED THAT, LIKE ME, IF WE STOP AND KNOCK AND ASK…..YOU MAYBE GRANTED!!
MY MAPS SHOW THE STREAM AS MILL CREEK, RESOURCES HAVE IT LISTED AS SILVER CREEK.
This next one, the story for this! We wasted so much time. If you ever traveled in this area you would understand. We drove over 8 miles on this dirt road and totally by passed the locations we were looking for. Fact was we could not find actual trail starts and kept going. Needless to say driving all the way to the end and had to turn around and back track the 8 miles. It would be nice if there was any sign stating DEAD END road!! Anyways, right at the end was a turn around and this was there.
Talcottville Falls was a revisit for me. The last time I was here it was in the winter. What a difference. That and this time could see the trail down in.
This is also a re visit. I had did a post on this earlier I believe. A well known attraction. This time I went in from the northern end and took the south trail in.

From the intersection of highway 12 and glenfield road, drive .2 Miles east on glenfield road. You will come to an intersection of main street. Turn left onto main street and drive .2 Miles to a right onto grieg road. Drive .5 Miles on grieg road to a left onto otter creek road. Drive 1.5 Miles on otter creek road to the intersection of pine grove road. Turn left here onto pine grove road and drive 1.4 Miles. Where rudd road is on your right. Turn onto rudd road and drive .3 Miles to the end where the bridge is out. This is the take out spot for the whitewater rafters.
The trail is fairly easy and is .5 mile round trip on the west side trail. The falls below the bridge is only a few hundred yards and also can be viewed from the bridge.
Fat Lady is located in the section below the Independence River Falls. The photos are included under the Independence River Falls.
The Wall IV Rapids and the Independence river (falls on) are located downstream from the bridge. I firmly believe I had viewed the latter from the other road, as can see by the tracking.
This section are the photos I had taken when we took the trail on the west side of the river, going as far as we could just below the dam. Another trip is planned to this location taken the trail on the east side to go further upstream for the other falls listed here.
