Salmon River Falls, Natural waterfall in Oswego County, New York, United States.
The Salmon River Falls cascade drops 110 feet over a shale and limestone cliff face, creating a substantial water feature in the surrounding forest landscape.
The falls functioned as a crucial fishing ground for Iroquois tribes until the 1860s, when dam construction blocked the natural Atlantic salmon migration patterns.
The site serves as a natural classroom for geological studies, displaying rock formations and seasonal water patterns that reflect the region's natural processes.
Visitors can access the falls through a designated parking area on Falls Road, with multiple viewing platforms providing different perspectives of the waterfall.
During winter months, the frozen waterfall transforms into a natural ice climbing destination, requiring daily registration for safety monitoring.
