Cohoes Falls (Mohawk: Kahón:ios, "a boat is in the water/is actively submerged") is a waterfall on the Mohawk River shared by the city of Cohoes and the town of Waterford, New York. It is roughly 1,000 ft (300 m) wide, between 75 and 90 ft (23 and 27 m) in height, and compares favorably in other measures to Niagara Falls, yet has no tourist industry and in fact dries up entirely in dry summers (due to water diverted to fill canal locks and generate power).
