Paterson Great Falls: History and Natural Beauty for NJ Families
Submitted by Elaine Paoloni ... on
Waterfalls are one of those treasures in life that we don’t often come across—but when we do, we’re mesmerized.
While New Jersey has a handful of picturesque cascades, most are tucked away on hiking trails or in wooded areas, such as Hemlock Falls in the South Mountain Reservation in West Orange or Boonton Falls in Grace Lord Park in Boonton.
If you’re not much of a backpacker, however, or are just looking for a quick jaunt, check out Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park in Paterson. It’s an easy day trip with a view to remember—and one you can drive right up to.
