Mississippi
The Great Falls
The Great Falls National Park and the Falls themselves are incredibly beautiful. Steeped in industrial history from when they powered Paterson as a manufacturing hub, the Great Falls were designated
America's 397th national park in 2011. The Falls have been preserved, and their access and their amenties improved, thanks to the efforts
Hamilton Partnership for Paterson and the
National Park Service. Both the groups have wonderful website information both about visiting the Great Falls and their history.
If you're interested in
the history and the future of the Park, do check out the Hamilton Partnership's website.
If you're visiting the Park, you'll find everything you need from the Park Service's website pages about the Great Falls Park.
Access and hiking trails are now simple to find, and a new visitors' center is expected to start construction in 2017.
