Cohoes Falls at Falls View Park
The four-acre Falls View Park offers a view of the scenic Cohoes Falls that spans the Mohawk River between Cohoes and Waterford, NY.
The four-acre Falls View Park offers a view of the scenic Cohoes Falls that spans the Mohawk River between Cohoes and Waterford, NY. The second largest waterfall in New York State, the falls measures roughly 1,000 feet across and up to 90 feet high. The park is located next to the Brookfield’s School Street Hydroelectric Plant and there is a fishing platform and viewing deck at the back of the hydropower plant’s powerhouse.
Celebrated by 18th-century travelers in letters and journals, the Cohoes Falls were regarded as the second-most beautiful cataract in New York State after Niagara. Along with the views and fishing, visitors to the park can enjoy picnics and hiking – and don’t forget to bring your camera!
