Cohoes Falls, Falls View Park

Address:
231-341 N Mohawk St, Cohoes, NY

Cohoes, New York is an incorporated city located at the northeast corner of Albany County in the U.S. state of New York. It is called the Spindle City because of the importance of textile manufacturing to its growth in the 19th century. The city's factories processed cotton from the Deep South, produced on plantations in the slave states. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 16,168. The name Cohoes is believed derived from a Mohawk term, Ga-ha-oose, referring to the Cohoes Falls and meaning Place of the Falling Canoe, an interpretation noted by Horatio Gates Spafford in his 1823 publication A Gazetteer of the State of New York. Later historians posited that the name is derived from the Algonquian Cohos, a place name based on a word meaning 'pine tree'.

Cohoes Falls, Cohoes, New York

Cohoes Falls is a waterfall on the Mohawk River shared by the city of Cohoes and the town of Waterford, New York, United States. Discovered by the indigenous people, the falls were called Ga-ha-oose or Ga-ho'n'-yoos by the Mohawks, which is believed to mean The Place of the Falling Canoe. Cohoes historian Arthur Masten wrote in his 1880 history that the phrase might mean Potholes in the River, referring to the potholes that appear in the riverbed when it is dry. In the oral tradition of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), the Cohoes Falls are the site where The Great Peacemaker, performed a feat of supernatural strength, convincing the Mohawk people to become the founders of the Iroquois League of Nations or Confederacy.

Celebrated by 18th-century travelers in letters and journals, the Cohoes Falls, also called The Great Falls of the Mohawk, were regarded as the second-most beautiful cataract in New York State after Niagara.

Taghannock Falls, Upstate NY in the Finger Lakes region

Taghannock Falls is a series of spectacular waterfalls where a feeder creek cuts through the limestone layers over a 2 mile course into Lake Cayuga, upstate New York. The video begins at the upper falls... from an old railroad trestle, then down the gorge, along the trail... eventually meeting the huge, natural carved bowl where the highest single fall occurs at his point, less than 1/2 mile from the lake...
