This 96-foot urban waterfall set on the Genesee River is a recognizable Rochester landmark that was the site of much of the area’s early industrial development, where industry was powered by the falling water.
Brown's Race diverts water from above the falls and was used to feed various flour mills and industries; today the water is used to produce hydroelectric power.
