Description: Great Falls (Bellows Falls) at high flow under the Vilas Bridge, taken from the end of Bridge St on the Vermont side, looking upriver. Flow measured nearby by USGS peaked at 60,000 CFS on that day after two days of rain. Record high streamflow here was 100,000 CFS during Irene in 2011. These are the remains of the falls after Bellows Falls Dam was built upriver, and much of the river flow was diverted into the Bellows Falls Canal.
