This waterfall is right in the middle of downtown Rochester. It can be easily viewed from the Pont du Rennes pedestrian bridge. It is interesting to see such a large waterfall in such an urban setting. Finding it will be no problem.
This is one of five major waterfalls on the Genesee river. One of the others is the nearby Lower Falls. The other three are in Letchworth State Park.

Here is a short movie of the falls with train going by.
Nearby Falls
The Lower Falls are a short distance downstream. There is also a Middle Falls in Rochester, but it is largely obstructed by a dam and there are no good viewing areas. Holley Canal Falls and Clarendon Falls are both 25 miles to the west.
