I don't believe there is a topic for these falls yet, although I might have posted one of these pictures elsewhere here. Today I took a ride to Amsterdam (NY that is) and stopped at Kirk Douglas Park. The park is located on Church Street next to the police station and fire station. You can see the lower falls from the bridge over Church Street.

The see the upper falls, walk up into Kirk Douglas Park from Church Street. Today there were two ducks bobbing about in the stream but they took off before I could catch them in a picture.

Nice falls! Probably named after THE Kirk Douglas.
