New Public Park in the area!!as per Troy Record
"Area residents now have a new park to view the beauty of the Cohoes falls, the second largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River.
Spanning 1,000 feet across the Mohawk River, the falls created the large backdrop to the ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, officially opening the new Falls View Park which is located adjacent to the hydroelectric plant on land owned by Brookfield Renewable Power."
This is great news. I'll be very happy to visit this new park and see what they've done. A good public space with a good view is always welcome.
Hopefully they have something at the park about the Mastadon skeleton that was found under the falls in 1866. Some interesting history will really spice up space. Hopefully this new park helps Cohoes resurge through it's depressed post-industrialism and make something interesting out of the great architecture, gridded streets, and history that they have.
oh, and here's a map of how to get there on your bicycle from downtown Albany

The Mastodon was actually found while building Harmony Mill 3. There is a Historic marker at the site/
I keep trying to post a glorious picture of baked potato pizza but your blog seems to not want that to happen.
Well thanks yet again for everything, roomie. For seriously.
There is an informative set of interpretive signs (which include the mastodon) down North Mohawk Street from the falls at Power Canal Park. The signs at Falls View Park had little local involvement, so they are rather light on historical information.
