Must visit place!!! It's a beautiful fall right in the middle of the city. There is plenty of benches to sit and relax. It's a great place to hang out with friends and family and for picnics. There is a free parking spot right at the entrance and it very convenient and free.

I love the natural beauty of the falls which is rather unusually situated in an urban area. The main overlook, which is near the parking lot would offer the best views. The bridge was closed otherwise that would have been a better view..

Really nice find in Paterson! Impressive waterfall with nice views. The bridge is closed at this time, but you can get next to it for to see more of the park. Safe with many families and park rangers there for information. Highly suggest checking this place out.

It's a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the city. But looks like it's getting polluted and mixed with sewer. Can visit and read the history of the renewal hydroelectric power generation which was closed long time back. There are some construction going on to maintain the place, hope by the summer it will look more maintained. Also, I went in winter session so not much crowded.

The walkway around the falls is paved, but if you decide to do a walking tour of the area (i.e.: Paterson Museum, Mill Mile, the reservoir trail) you might want to wear sneakers.
