Northern New York Waterfalls: Allen Falls

Directly across Allen Falls Road from the parking area, take the path heading downstream along the West Branch of the St. Regis River. In less than 0.2 miles you reach the crest of the 35-foot falls. A bit further on is a spot to descend to river level; the bank is steep and it is a scramble. Return the same way.
