I remember swimming in the natural pools carved by the falling water in my youth. Before the opening time of the waterfall, there were alarm sirens to tell the people enjoying the bath to get the hell out of there. Good times. Nowadays it is strictly prohibited to even get close...
Wikipedia has a map [0] which shows the extent of the ancient lake (Lago Valino) the Romans drained (the waterfall is in the upper left corner). This lake had a surface area of around 90 km², which is roughly half the size of present-day Lago Maggiore.
