Lyons Falls is a 63-foot block waterfall on the Black River in the village of Lyons Falls, just below where the Moose River joins. A hydroelectric dam sits above it. From NY 12, drive into the village and follow the boat launch signs to the lower launch, which gives a good view of the falls. Another spot just upstream gives a view at the top of the falls.
