From Wikipedia:
Conewago Falls in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was a historic river barrier 12 miles (19 km) below and south of Harrisburg at a wide spot, where the river drops 19 feet (5.8 m) in 1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) along the lower Susquehanna River along either side of Three Mile Island. The falls between the west bank and the west side of the island were inundated-by-design years ago by construction of the York Haven Dam which, when it was completed in 1904, for a time became the third largest in the world. Today the Falls hides inside the Frederic Lake reservoir along the west side of the island. Excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Conewago Falls, available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
