Looking downstream from Lower
Falls Park, you can see the Driving Park Bridge, the
RG&E generating plant, and the Kodak Hawkeye building,
along with the lower gorge of the Genesee River. The
river is fairly flat
between here and Lake Ontario, about 6 river miles to
the north.
You can just see the ventilation tower on the right edge of the picture.
This is where the tunnel from the Middle Falls drops to the turbines in
the power plant and the base of these falls. The electric company is limited
in the amount of water it can divert, so there is always some water flowing
over the Lower Falls.
