Great Falls of the Passaic River drops 77 ft (23 m) as a block waterfall in New Jersey.
The falls are fed by Passaic River. You'll find it in Passaic, New Jersey. It is protected within National Park Service (Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Base a visit out of Paterson, the closest town.
When to go: Spring high water; flows year-round. Like most waterfalls, Great Falls of the Passaic River runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
