Photographer: Howard C. Ohlhous
Taken: September 16, 2008
Caption: Cohoes and Falls View Park
Additional Description: This imagine is a detail from an 1966 aerial view photo of Cohoes posted on another interpretive sign at the new Falls View Park. The park includes a foot bridge across the power canal to the overlook, indicated by the red lines on the photo. The red circle indicates the location of the amphitheater and the Sightseeing/Cataract House marker. In this photo the Cohoes Falls are almost entirely dried up because so much of the Mohawk River water has been diverted away to the Waterford Flight of the Erie Canal, and the School Street Hydro power plant.
