Little Falls

Little Falls is a city in Herkimer County, New York, United States. The population was 4,946 at the 2010 census.. The city is built on both sides of the Mohawk River, at a point at which rapids had impeded travel upriver. Transportation through the valley was improved by construction of the Erie Canal, completed in 1825 and connecting the Great Lakes with the Hudson River.

Once you get south of the Lock 17, the river is quite placid, although there is a fair bit of noise from the Little Falls - Thruway Connector and the rail tracks on the opposite side of the river.
