The Falls 

The Falls on the Mohawk River in Cohoes, just west of the river's end, or confluence with the Hudson River, is one of the more impressive natural sites in The Capital District. In the left foreground is the School Street Hydroelectric plant that has been utilizing the fall of water to create electricity for over 100 years.
