July 20, Rachael Pawlick. July 12, Located just outside the heart of Cohoes, this waterfall is one of the biggest most dynamic falls in the region.

Depending on the time of year you can be greeted with one immense torrent of water or hundreds of smaller trickling waterfalls over its 1,foot wide face. Beautiful whatever the time of year, Cohoes Falls offers a great show and several areas where you can view the waterfall from. While it can be seen from up to a mile downstream, most prefer to wait until the time of the season when the bottom of the falls is open to the public.

No admission fees and fishing areas available. Even your family pet is allowed in the falls viewing areas! Its flow is most impressive in springtime when it can sometimes run at 90, cubic feet 2, m3 of water per second. The glacial advances and retreats of the last two million years of geologic history altered New York's landscape.

Erosion and deposits left by the retreating glaciers changed the course of the lower Mohawk River and formed Cohoes Falls.
