This one of the two falls where the town got its name. It runs thru the middle of town and you’re on a bridge between the two falls to take this picture. A small dam controls the second falls, and the creek is open for trout fishing.

looks like an old mill/factory to the right.
I like shooting falls with old mills next to them.
