About Who owns the right-of-way along Old River Road in Little Falls? ....
It looks like from the Herkimer County Tax Maps (click to display) that the abandoned Old River River remains owned by the public and appears on no parcel maps.
Helpful Hint: While I suggest you look on blog for a downloadable PDF Map, you should be able to print or save this map by clicking the print button on the map above.

More about Moss Island...
Moss Island is an island in Little Falls, New York, located between the Mohawk River and the New York State Barge Canal. It is composed of an igneous intrusion of syenite, and became an island when canal locks were built so boats could avoid the 40-foot (12 m) falls. It is known for its large 40–50-foot (12–15 m) deep potholes as well as being popular with local rock climbers. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1976.
