Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park is home to one of the nation's largest waterfalls, the Great Falls of the Passaic River. Set on the Passaic River in the city of Paterson in Passaic County, the 77-foot high waterfall and surrounding area is protected by the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. The 119-acre park is designated as a National Historic Landmark District and also preserves Paterson Great Falls, America's first planned industrial city which was considered to be ‘The Cradle of American Industry.’ The Paterson district joins the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (NRA), the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway NRA, and the Morristown National Historic Park. The park’s Welcome Center hours are seasonal and open from Monday through Sunday.
