Lake Luzerne Quadrangle

Primarily a horseshoe shaped falls, it can be seen from the Hope Bridge, just downstream from it.   This bridge spans the Hudson between the villages of Lake Luzerne and Hadley.  A monument to those who served in the Persian Gulf War is on the Lake Luzerne side of the bridge.

As with many waterfalls, and as these pictures show, its appearance changes with the level of flow.  During high water, spring run-off, the entire width of the river is covered with water and the horse-shoe shape on river right is barely evident.  Later in the summer, when the flow is lessened, river left has little to no water flowing over the crest.

The Hudson River flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
