A lot of people like to venture towards the bottom of the falls but the hike back up is a thigh/calf killer!! I like to sit right on top of the falls! Good place to show off to people new to Rochester Area and very peaceful place to relax if you’re a local.
Absolutely love the falls. Great place for salmon fishing. Only thing to keep in mind is sometimes the parking is limited. On street parking is prohibited on the roads adjacent to the parking lot.
It has the potential to be one of the best parks in the city, but sadly it’s just another park in Rochester that decays faster than it is maintained. Still worth exploring, but the excess of trash and lack of maintenance and revitalization is saddening, and frankly, makes it impossible to immerse yourself. Perhaps one of the most upsetting things about Rochester is that it usually falls short when it comes to taking care of the beautiful spots they already have. I’ll always be perplexed by the fact that Rochester is a city that is dying for more tourism, but does not capitalize on the fact that they have two gorgeous 100-foot waterfalls right in the city.
Three stars is generous, but that’s because I’m sentimental.
Small park and little walking and nice Fall view. I parked at Rose garden and took a trail walk to Lower Falls. It was a bit muddy after the rain. It was an easy walk and little misty when near the fall. It was not much at the park, just some seats and the view to the water. Good for a little short walk
This place was really good we hiked around and saw the falls only down side was the bridge was under repair so couldn’t walk over the spillway.
