The Mohawk River has seen much greater spring runoff than the Hudson River over the past few days. This makes sense as the Hudson watershed above the confluence with the Mohawk is farther north and at a higher altitude than that of the Mohawk. Another day of warm temperatures with some rain may even things out some.
I walked around Peebles Island yesterday afternoon which sits between the third and fourth branches of the Mohawk River. This is a part of the river which is bypassed by the Waterford flight of locks and not a part of the canal system. Only some hydroelectric dams alter the river from what it has been for thousands of years.

And here is a short video of what I have seen described as Buttermilk Falls on the third branch between Peebles Island and Van Schaick Island..
