There is not much to be seen of the Middle falls of the Genesee
in Rochester. The falls have been replaced by a dam where water is collected
into a tunnel through the gorge wall on the far side of the river. This
tunnel flows to a stack above the Lower Falls (about 1,000 feet downstream
to the left) and then falls to electrical generating turbines
at the base of the Lower Falls.
This view was taken from Lower Falls
Park.
