North Country explorer from Newark, New Jersey
Habitat: Waterfall; forest-area
Natural History: Lampson Falls in on the South Branch of the Grasse River. In reality, the North Branch branches a few miles downstream of this area and the river breaks into the Middle Branch and the South Branch a few miles upstream. The stretch containing Lampson Falls is the main section of the Grasse River. The Grasse River, along with the other tributaries to the St. Lawrence River, served as a water power source for several mills in the towns and hamlets along its course. Virtually none of these mills have survived, but stone foundations, burned out furnaces and other ancient structures can be located along its banks.
My Interest: Plain and simple, anything that has to do with water really intrigues me. Looking at the water flow, and how much it averts because of the climate and its effect was interesting. Also, coming off of the sunlight made the view even better.
