Paterson Guide

Recreation and Leisure

Visitors can view the Great Falls on the Passaic River from McBride Avenue and Spruce Street. Walking and/or driving tours around the Falls and the restored mill buildings that were once powered by the rushing waters are also possible.

With its proximity to New York City and Newark, numerous day trips to visit other historic monuments, to shop, or to just catch a major professional sports game add to the endless list of possibilities.
