Corinth Quadrangle

This waterfall, as is the case with many on the Hudson River, is now a hydro-electric facility.  

There is a little park here and from that area, you can walk downstream to view the dam/falls.  There is still a waterfall at the base of the dam.  It splits around a large outcrop in the middle of the channel.  on river left, there is a fairly vertical plunge.  on river right, it is a slide.  The dam probably doesn't physically affect the waterfall.  Even without it, the top of the falls would be the same level.  As with any hydro facility, however, the flow is controlled and there are probably times when there is little to no water flowing.   The downside here is that photo opportunities are limited.  The best angle to get pictures from this side of the river is blocked by the hydro plant.  From where you can see the waterfall, there is a chain link fence considerably taller than most people and there is barbed wire at the top of it.

The Hudson River flows into the Atlantic ocean.
