Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park
Paterson Great Falls is a missed opportunity. Sadly as a part of the National Parks system, this park is a mess.
The falls provide a natural draw. The site is under renovation but there is zero work being done on a nice day in the middle of the week. No park people anywhere. Is everyone working from home?
The site needs a MAJOR cleanup with trash everywhere. The waterway is fairly clean but that is probably due to the massive amounts of water going over the falls due to recent flooding.
Traffic around the site is chaotic but parking is not a problem. There is no fee to enter as there are zero people at the site. Porta Potties at the lower parking lot only.
The bridge over the falls is unsafe and closed. This bisects the park and makes you have to leave the park to see the upper and lower falls.
The surrounding area has an interesting mix of old mill buildings from the 1800s and rundown tenements. This park has potential but needs better management. Finish the construction and cleanup the place now.

Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
Nice quiet place to walk on wooden boardwalk paths. Bugs not an issue in early April will get bad later in the spring. Paths are level and not to long. Bathrooms are available.
