2026 Waterfalls in New Jersey
We’ve mapped 1 waterfalls in New Jersey, covering 1 waterfall types across the Appalachian Highlands.
New Jersey's waterfall heritage centers on Paterson Great Falls — the 77-foot urban cascade on the Passaic River that powered America's first planned industrial city in the 1790s. Now a National Historical Park, the falls are accessible by a paved walking path with multiple viewing decks across a footbridge directly over the gorge. Year-round drive-up access; flow varies with rainfall and dam releases upstream. Pair with the Paterson Museum of industrial history, the Hinchcliffe Stadium restoration, and the broader Watchung Mountain hiking network including Buttermilk Falls and Ramapo Mountain State Forest.
