However, the vicinity poses inherent risks due to its proximity to rapids formed by creek flows post-floods or winter thaws. In February 2017, a young individual fell, was reported missing, and was discovered deceased in the Hudson River two months later. Prior to this incident, less than a year earlier, a 16-year-old had also fallen from the same cliffs, resulting in a fatality.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In a more recent occurrence, a swimmer lost their life in the Poestenkill Gorge in June 2020.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Poestenkill_Gorge_Today">The Poestenkill Gorge Today</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Poesten_Kill&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: The Poestenkill Gorge Today"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Today, the gorge is located right behind RPI's polytechnic dorm. Alternative names referring to the gorge include Mount Ida Falls, Wire Mill Falls, and Poesten Kill High Falls. It's the largest waterfall found on the Poesten Kill River system, which consists of 6 distinct drops totaling to about 150 feet: the tallest drop at around 30 feet. The average width of the stream is 15 feet with 50 feet being the max in some areas. At the base of the fall, it was mostly pebbles ranging from 1 cm pebbles to large boulders. Also at the base, 10 feet above, there was a hollow cave-like structure that resembled a rock shelter. It can be accessed from the base through climbing and connects to the upper level of the waterfall where pockets of water lie. The upper portion of these falls is viewable almost completely from a private residence up the hill from the park's parking area on Linden Ave. There are some other areas to view the waterfalls from the top of the Gorge off of Rt. 2, uphill from the Cookie Factory. </p><p>There are two access points located on each side of the river. A private company has a small power station that still produces electricity from hydropower on the north side of the river that was built in the 1950s<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and used turbines inside the remains of the concrete foundation of the old industrial mills. A gate blocked the entrance to this access point but it since has been removed. This road existed since the 1870s but had been closed off in the 1990s when the city of Troy discontinued maintenance of this park, even though it still owns the land. This road leads to a small dirt path tangled with saplings and roots along old industrial remains from the Marshall Factories. This dirt path is where the bridge access road used to be, due to the lack of any full-grown trees and a clearing. The path splits into two, one leading towards the sublime foundation of an old mill with one brick archway standing. Along the northern riverbank are stone bricks, shale from mill foundations, clay bricks from the old mill inscribed “Bleau”, and steel rods from where bridges and walkways used to traverse and cross the gorge. The bricks inscribed “Bleau” were made in a brick factory in Mechanicville across the Hudson<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and used to make up a mill from the 1700s. </p><p>Walking along the riverbank provides no adequate places for footing due to the deposits of rubble and driftwood along the banks. One of the sights is the rock walls of the waterfalls that indicate all dirt and clay have been washed away by the constant barrage of water. During the spring, the melting water and a lack of a dam upstream cause the water to flow much more violently. The discharging water is fast and prevents access to most of the waterfall riverbanks. During the winter, the colder weather brings snow cover to much of the surrounding banks, and a thick layer of ice forms across the river. When summer comes, most of the ice from winter has melted and the lower river discharge exposes the banks finally. Students from RPI and the community surrounding the area often come to the gorge to take a drip and relax during the hot summer days.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
