Trenton Falls, April 2010

Trenton Falls was a resort area during the 1800's and the site of a historic conference during the Civil War:

The area is now a hydroelectric site that is opened by the local power company for one weekend each spring.

We got to walk the pipeline, & hunt for fossils. The water levels were low due to an early snow melt, but the falls were still awesome.


We camped at the nearby West Canada Creek Campground in Poland, NY, a really nice place, & highly recommended:
