Canton

This tiny town in St. Lawrence County, New York, Canton sits on the water and hosts two universities — St. Lawrence University and the State University of New York at Canton — giving its compact centre a café and restaurant scene that belies its size. The town also contains the smaller village of Rensselaer Falls.
