    Beautiful park with some waterfalls. It's not a big park acts literally all right there you can…read morewalk around it it takes about 5-10 min longer if your taking pictures. Parking to find was a little hard but I'm not from here so there may have been parking somewhere for the park. Very nice glad I got to see it. Recommend to visit if your in area but nothing major to go out of your way to visit.

    Today was the Paterson Preservation Fair with great tours, information tables, activities, and…read morefood. When I first moved north, a friend took me to The Falls. We parked in back and walked through the park, which I now know as Mary Ellen Kramer Park. It was sad and depressing then. Lots of garbage and not inviting. Over the last two years it has come along. New signs, tables, better grounds maintenance. The two buildings on the property still need some love and new roofs, but it's getting there. After checking out the tables, I took the Paterson Great Falls tour. It introduced me to the original mill house and Raceway across the street. A waterway that diverted part of the Passaic towards the bustling silk mills. I had never noticed either before. The tour ended at the Paterson Museum. Great exhibitions on baseball, the silk trade, and the Wright airplane engine factory. Next, I took a tour of Hinchliffe stadium, the newly revamped local home of minor-league baseball. After that, and this was my favorite, I took a tour of Lambert Castle. It's on Garret Mountain, and is still under reconstruction, but what an amazing place! History, architectural details and a beautiful view. Coming back to the park, there was a food truck with hotdogs and hamburgers. I sat at a picnic table and enjoyed the cool breeze while watching families have fun. The Park is definitely getting the facelift and attention that this historically important area needs. Can't wait for the construction along the Passaic River is finished and the walking trails are usable. It was a great event!

    Come here for a quick workout . You can do 2 miles and see horses and other wildlife. This place is…read moresecure there's camera surveillance. Such a great place to come and relax. They also have fitness bars to do pull-ups however I'm not at that level yet.

    Happy New Year friends!…read more 2026 is my year (I say this every year) and I wanted to center my well-being today. So I joined my body affirming hiking group (ask about us!) for our Jan. 1 First Day Hike to Garret Mountain. Imagine our collective surprise when we woke up to a phantom overnight snowstorm! Still we persisted. Our group of 6 was suited and hiking booted for the wooded trails only to discover a thick layer of ice under and over the rocks headed into the forests. Even our microspikes wouldn't have been much help due to the steep declines. So we backtracked and decided to walk the auto loop instead. We got a mile into our 3 miles and Passaic County PD came around and announced the park was closing due to ice and dangerous conditions. So we walked back up to the auto lookout and headed out. 2 of 3 miles wasn't bad considering that I was cold in places I've never been cold before, and had just said to my friend, "I have a bad feeling about this hike today" right before we had to come out of the woods due to ice. Listen to your intuition! I know this park will be stunning in spring so I can't wait to return. The mountain views and gorgeous NYC skyline are not to be missed. Keep in mind: -The Tower was closed for maintenance so check before you go -Microspikes are a must in the winter - and even then... -It's a good 7-8 degrees colder up high in the park. 22 felt like 15. -the wildlife does not gaf. The deer stepped to us as if WE were the exhibit. Love that for them tbh.

    (Update) So happy, the walking bridge has finally reopened…read more Viewing the falls from the bridge is an impressive experience. Fun Fact- The Falls: A 77-foot-high waterfall on the Passaic River, second only to Niagara Falls in volume east of the Mississippi. The Great Falls of Paterson is even more impressive to see after a major rainstorm. The falls are more immense and you'll get spritzed. LOL... In the winter time, You can see the falls in a frozen state. An absolutely mesmerizing experience. Hope you enjoy the photos from all seasons.

    Paterson, NJ - Paterson Great Falls is the second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi River…read more(can you guess the first?), and although it is not as impressive as A-lister Niagara Falls, we are still quite lucky to be in close proximity to such a spectacle of nature! It powered America's first planned industrial city of Paterson, New Jersey, established by Alexander Hamilton in 1792 (before he became a Broadway star), which produced everything from textiles, to locomotives, paper rolls, firearms, and aircraft engines. The park is run by the National Park Service and is free to visit. You can wander around on your own, or join a free guided tour given by a park ranger, which I highly recommend. I was only aware of the falls from the observation deck of Haines Overlook Park and assumed that was the whole shebang. It was not. The ranger-led tour revealed other sections of the park with different vantage points, which I wouldn't have thought to explore. Our tour guide Emma S was very knowledgeable and gave a great presentation. As luck would have it, we went the day after heavy overnight rains, and the waterfall was in full glory. Emma told us this is the most water she's seen in her two years as a tour guide! A new pedestrian footbridge just opened in February 2026, allowing visitors to walk across the chasm for close-up views of the 77-foot waterfall at misting distance. Further expansions and more section openings are planned in the coming years, as well as a new visitor center. Finally: kids can earn a Junior Ranger badge - a program available at most of the 400+ national parks. My child received his first badge here, a handsome wooden pin. So that was very cool. Other nearby attractions include the Paterson Museum, Muth Museum, and the newly re-opened Lambert Castle, so you can make a full day of it.
