Trenton Falls, New York
The geologic feature known as Trenton Falls is located in Oneida County, New York and was a major tourist destination in the nineteenth century. The falls comprise several drops of the West Canada Creek totaling 270 feet over a series of limestone ledges creating seven major falls, including: Upper High Falls, Lower High Falls, Village Falls, Cascade of the Alhambra, Sherman Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Mill Dam Falls.
Beginning in 1897 most of the property in the area of the falls has been owned by electrical utilities. Several generations of hydroelectric were constructed on the river and for most of the twentieth century the property was closed to visitors. In recent years, the town of Trenton joined with current property owner to create one mile of scenic trails along the falls. The trail is open on selected weekends with a schedule available from the town.
