Paddling up to Canal Village, Little Falls Hydro Dam and the Falls. I stayed my distance from the hydro dam for obvious safety reasons.
Theodore Wind Bridge in Little Falls
Driving over the Mayor Theodore Wind Bridge in Little Falls, that was built south of rather then upon Moss Island, carrying NY 169 to the Thruway, providing this dying industrial city access to the superhighway. For being a highway bridge built in 1980-1982, it's a remarkably graceful bridge that crosses the Mohawk River, Barge Canal, Old River Road, and the Railroad Tracks. The first part of this video is Old River Road, from the Sewage Treatment Plant to NY 5.
