Overview
This newly renovated park offers visitors a scenic view of the Cohoes Falls never before open to the public. One can gain access to the park by walking from North Mohawk Street on a footbridge over the power canals. The four-acre Falls View Park is adjacent to Brookfield Renewable Power’s School Street hydroelectric generating facility. Interpretive panels can be found in Fall Views Park’s canal-side plaza which were created by the National Park Service.
