The view is pretty impressive. The small part with the best view was unfortunately closed, so we could not check it out, but the falls are definitely impressive.Its a pity that the area near the park is in such poor condition. It has the potential to be a charming spot to stroll around with buildings that are full of character and history.

Really beautiful for sunset. There is a lot of overgrowth of shrubs from viewing area that could be taken care of and better care of the trash. But it is a beautiful spot to walk to at sunset especially after some rain!

Beautiful view of what used to be one of the top tourist attractions in New York State. Limited parking, usually clean, but suffers from some who leave their trash.

The park itself is small and basic, but the historic falls and surrounding vistas are great

Could be better taken care of by the City of Cohoes, but this park offers beautiful, unobstructed views of the falls. Great photography and picnic opportunities.

Very cool place to look at the falls. The downside is the parking isnt very plentiful and a lot of dumping (huge furniture) over the fence from the very run down houses.

THERE ARE TWO VIEWING POINTS TO ENJOY THE COHOES FALLS. (COHOES FALLS PARK ON SCHOOL ST. & FALLS VIEW PARK ON NORTH MOHAWK ST.). THIS ONE IS TINY BUT A NICE VIEW OF THE FALLS AND A GOOD PLACE TO READ A BOOK, HAVE A SANDWICH OR SIT WHILE AND JUST SOAK IN THE FALLS. IF YOU WANT A LITTLE MORE GO TO FALLS VIEW PARK. THERE IS A PARKING LOT ACROSS FROM THE ENTRANCE AND A COOL BRIDGE CROSSING THE RIVER. TO THE LEFT OF THE BRIDGE YOU HAVE A FEW PICNIC TABLES (NO GRILLS) AND TO THE RIGHT INFO SIGNS, BENCHES AND VIEWING. WHEN YOU CROSS THE BRIDGE THERE IS A PAVED PATH AND STAIRS TAKING YOU TO A LOWER VIEWING POINT WHERE YOU CAN GET A GREAT VIEW OF THE FALLS. JUST A FEW MO FEET THERE IS ANOTHER PLATFORM WHERE YOU CAN WATCH THE GULLS SWOOP DOWN FOR FISH. I ALWAYS RAED THE 1 STAR REVIEWS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET A GOOD LAUGH. PEOPLE RATE THE THE FALLS WITH ONE STAR BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DOGS ALLOWED (THE PARKS ARE TO SMALL FOR DOGS). NOT MUCH TO SEE OR DO. MAYBE THESE PEOPLE NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME ON THE COUCH. ONE GUY SAID THE SIGN LIED BECAUSE ITS NOT SECOND TO NIAGARA FALLS. WELL MY FRIEND IT IS. NIAGARA FALLS AKA AMERICAN FALLS IS ONE OF 3 FALLS. YES ALL 3 FALLS TOGETHER ARE MUCH BIGGER BUT NIAGARA FALLS IS THE ONE THATS ON THE U.S. SIDE. THE FALLS ITSELF (NOT INCLUDING THE ROCKY BOTTOM) ARE 70 TO 110 FT HIGH, COHOES FALLS 90 FT HIGH, NIAGARA FALLS IS 1,060 FT WIDE, COHOES IS 1000 FT WIDE. I REALLY WISH PEOPLE TAKE THE TIME TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING BEFORE DOING A STUPID REVIEW. THIS IS AN AWESOME FALLS. DONT MISS IT. I UPLOADING PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE BOTH VIEWING SPOT. MY 13 YEAR OLD SON TOOK A BUNCH OF THESE PICTURES. NOT BAD FOR HIS 1ST TIME

Amazing point of Geographic and Geological structure in Mohawk river. Water flows over the huge rocks making a wondergul fall. Regarded by native people as the second Niagra Falls.
