Water Fall at Stone Valley

Feb. 5, 2014: This is a picture depicting waterfall movement on a winter hike through Stone Valley in Colton, NY. The woodland offers a nice enclosed feel when passing through and seeing the views of the waterfalls along the river. I like this image because I feel that it captures the rivers movement and showcases its reaction to the heavy snowfall. The Stone Valley trail network encompasses over 12 miles of trail along the Raquette River (shown above) which is accessible for about six of those miles. The trails lie on land that is owned by St. Lawrence County, The Town of Colton and Brookfield Renewable Power. The river drops 200 feet from Colton to Brown's Bridge.
