The Historic Canal Place neighborhood in Little Falls is home to many shops, apartments, condos, and nice things. It is located along the road to Moss Island, and is the brightest spot in his otherwise struggling former industrial city on the Mohawk River.
The then new Little Falls cloverleaf was designed to connect to downtown via a new arterial highway that originally threatened Moss Island but was later moved slightly farther to the south after community protests, protecting this historic and unique island. Notice the deep cuts into the Marcellus shale, with it's deep black residues that once contained petroleum millions of years ago.
