Winter in New York is a magical time — especially upstate. The land transforms into a gorgeous frozen wonderland! It’s one of the benefits of living in such a cold place. Sure, the chill is unbearable at times, but it also makes even the most beautiful spots in the area more beautiful. Case in point: New York’s frozen waterfalls.
Cohoes Falls is a must-see in New York. Located on the Mohawk River in the town of Cohoes, there is something so awe-inspiring about the waterfall.

But while we love seeing the falls at their mightiest, they’re also fascinating to see come wintertime.
