Overview
Cocheco Falls is a dam-controlled drop on the Cocheco River in downtown Rochester, next to the old mill and city park area. It's a viewing site only — the river flows over a historic dam and mill channel, not a natural swimming feature. Use the downtown riverwalk and adjacent parking to see it safely. No swimming, no wading.
