Cohoes Falls
Cohoes Falls is a waterfall on the Mohawk River shared by the city of Cohoes and the town of Waterford, New York. It is roughly 1,000 ft wide, between 75 and 90 ft in height, and compares favorably in other measures to Niagara Falls, yet has no tourist industry and in fact dries up entirely in dry summers.
