Little Falls is a historical waterfall on the Raquette River, just downstream from the Blake Falls Dam powerhouse in St. Lawrence County, New York.
The falls
Little Falls sits on the Raquette River between the Rainbow Falls and Blake Falls reservoirs, just downstream of the Blake Falls Dam powerhouse. It is recorded as a historical feature and may no longer exist in its original form. The area lies in the Northeastern Highlands, where fast mountain streams drop over granite and gneiss ledges in chains of falls and pools.
Getting there
The former site sits a short distance along Blake Road, a dead-end road off Raquette River Road. No parking, trail or accessibility information for it is documented.
When to go
Because it lies in a regulated reservoir corridor rather than on a free-flowing stretch, it has no current natural best-flow season.
History and name
The name Little Falls is an official historical designation. Many waterfalls on this stretch of the Raquette River, including this one, were replaced by hydroelectric dams and no longer flow as they once did.
