Cohoes Falls on the Mohawk River, NY State

Cohoes Falls is a waterfall on the Mohawk River shared by the city of Cohoes and the town of Waterford, New York. The Cohoes Falls is 90 feet (28 m) high and 1,000 feet (305 m) wide, while Niagara Falls width is 830 feet (250 m) for American Falls and 2,200 feet (670 m) for Horseshoe Falls. Flow is greatest in springtime, sometimes running at 90,000 cubic feet (2,500 m3) of water per second. The flow varies with seasonal variation of Mohawk River flow as well as with diversions for the Barge Canal locks, power generation, and the Cohoes water supply. During the summer, the falls are virtually dry, revealing shale rock formations that have their own distinctive beauty. Cohoes Falls generates about 190 MW of electricity a year.
