About

Madison Chute is a waterfall in St. Lawrence County, New York, sitting at about 911 feet. The nearest town is Edwards, roughly 7 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Wanakena run to highs around 79°F in July, with lows near 55°F. That station sits about 600 feet higher than the chute, so temperatures at the waterfall may run a little warmer. Stammer Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 5 miles away. The Aldrich Pond Wilderness Trail and Twin Falls Cliff, a climbing area, are both within about 10 miles.
