I remember to have been told thirty years ago that a traveller might
go far and wide in search of the picturesque, without finding a spot
more romantic in its loveliness than Trenton Falls. The name of the
river is Canada Creek West; but as that is hardly euphonious, the
course of the water which forms the falls has been called after
the town or parish. This course is nearly two miles in length, and
along the space of these two miles it is impossible to say where the
greatest beauty exists. To see Trenton aright one must be careful not
to have too much water. A sufficiency is no doubt desirable, and it
may be that at the close of summer, before any of the autumnal rains
have fallen, there may occasionally be an insufficiency. But if there
be too much, the passage up the rocks along the river is impossible.
The way on which the tourist should walk becomes the bed of the
stream, and the great charm of the place cannot be enjoyed. That
charm consists in descending into the ravine of the river, down
amidst the rocks through which it has cut its channel, and in walking
up the bed against the stream, in climbing the sides of the various
falls, and sticking close to the river till an envious block is
reached, which comes sheer down into the water, and prevents further
progress. This is nearly two miles above the steps by which the
descent is made; and not a foot of this distance but is wildly
beautiful. When the river is very low there is a pathway even beyond
that block; but when this is the case there can hardly be enough of
water to make the fall satisfactory.

There is no one special cataract at Trenton which is in itself either
wonderful or pre-eminently beautiful. It is the position, form,
colour, and rapidity of the river which give the charm. It runs
through a deep ravine, at the bottom of which the water has cut
for itself a channel through the rocks, the sides of which rise
sometimes with the sharpness of the walls of a stone sarcophagus.
They are rounded too towards the bed, as
broad 
 streets, and avenues of trees, and big shop class, and excellent houses. 
 A general air of fatty prosperity pervades them all, and is strong at 
 Utica as elsewhere.
