Description
35 feet high

This waterfall, also known as the Mill Falls, is a series of stair-step ledge drops and waterfalls adjacent to an old, three story mill that is located about one-half mile downstream from Third Falls.

Scout and/or portage around the Mill Falls on river right. At low water (below stage 1.6 feet) you can portage across easy ledges below the mill. At high water (above stage 1.6 feet), you may need to portage around the top of the mill and then across steep tree-covered ledges just downstream from the mill. Ropes may be required, depending upon your comfort level with hauling a boat across steep terrain.

This stair-step cascade is the most difficult drop on Canaseraga Creek. Run far left all the way down. Alternately, portage on river right immediately in front of the mill.
