Suggested Page Improvements to Eagle Falls

From Lowville, follow Number Four Road to near its end. About 1/2 mile east of the intersection with Stillwater Road, turn left onto Soft Maple Road. This road is unmarked but there is a brown sign that says, "Beaver River Canoe Route." Go about 2.5 miles, then turn right onto another dirt road signed "Beaver River Canoe Route". Drive 2 minutes along the large green pipe on your right and park on the left.

Cross the road, walk down the stairs under the penstock, then follow a trail south to the cliff.

NEW Alternate North Approach (NO RIVER CROSSING)

From the beginning of Fish Creek Road (where Long Pond Rd turns left) drive 7 miles to a dirt road on the right. The road is not marked, however there are orange and white posts as well as an orange sign that says "13-04-00" that might help. Turn right and drive .1 miles to a grassy pull off and a red trail marker.  (Turn: 43.91681, -75.19511.  Parking: 43.91480, -75.19630.)

From the start of the trailhead down an obvious logging road with red trail markers. Stay on this to cross a stream with a pond on the left. After a few minutes the trail leaves the logging road to the left. After 10 minutes of obvious, relatively flat hiking, you'll reach the Beaver River with some small dirty cliffs on the left. A few more minutes deposits you to the far left end of the crag at Grumpy Raccoon.  The full approach is roughly 1 mile / 20 minutes.
