This is a beautiful right in the middle of the city. Easily accessible through public transport. You can view the falls from the bridge. There is also a Genesee museum/bar at the end of the bridge. The falls is lit in the night with different colors. Thats a pretty view.Might not be an amazing falls but it is definitely worth visiting if you are near by.

A trail with amazing view of High falls in rochester downtown. Delighted to see such a lovely waterfall in middle of the city. There is a brew house on the other side of trail that offers dining with panoramic views of the falls.

Finding the best place to see the falls was a little confusing but totally worth it. The falls are beautiful. I love the juxtaposition of the falls against the urban city. Really cool unique spot.

Great view of the falls from the bridge & from the observation deck. You can get an even better view of the falls from the Genesee Brew house roof top terrace. Its alsovery pretty at night when its all lit up.

Pretty cool waterfall, a historic one too. I reccomend visiting.

It’s a nice view, but if I’m being honest.... I thought the water would look more cleaner. It was green

Great weather. Very nice historic place to visit. I just wished that all shops would have been opened.

Calm and peaceful during the week. You can tell the history of this location would be amazing.

Beautiful and the waterfall is just as spectacular as the ones at Niagara Falls. Best views see from the viewing area up the tiny path. Youll even experience slight spray from the waterfall, which is refreshing on a hot day.

Hard to rate a waterfall! Skyline is beautiful. Clear gorgeous day while I was there. The walkway across the river provides an incredible view. If you are in Rochester, cant miss High Falls!

Impressive falls with a really nice view from Pont Renne. The trail is also cool since it gives the history of how multiple businesses used the power from Genessee River to their advantage including the forge. The Race where they harnessed the dead drop from the top of the falls was also interesting. Would definitely walk around to look at the different parts of the trail to get a sense of the history surrounding the falls. Parking deck on ther outside of this historic area or on street parking is available.

Amazing walkway and bike paths next to these falls

Amazing asset for Rochester! Visit this attraction. Eat at the Genesee Brew Pub. The High Falls is a great place for selfies, to propose, & to enjoy the natural beauty of Rochester.

BEAUTIFUL PLACEAND INTERESTING STORY

This is a good view to spend a evening at. Dont go the point suggested by google maps, go a little further ahead and walk on th blue bridge for the best view.

Go and see for yourself. 20,000 years old and still going strong. The perfect representation of Rochester

It was a great photoshoot day

Excellent view of the falls from many angles. Plus several signs along the way explaining the history and why things have been done along the bridge and path. It is a great connection in the city. Its too bad more people dont get out to enjoy it.

Must visit if youre visiting rochester!Its peaceful and calm. The falls light up in the night

Nice falls and a nice bridge in the middle of the town. We visited Genesee Brew House as well and had lunch there (recommended) and used their guest parking. We just walked up and down the bridge and took some photos.

Great place to eat and just walk around and see the sights

Theres so much trash! The falls are pretty. But the trash us everywhere. What a sad sight ro see in, what could be, a glorious city...

Awesome atmosphere, great view of the falls

Good to see water falls in the city centre... The water didnt look clean during 2005 summer..

Its rochester. Many things apply from that short blanket statement. Although on our trip we saw a couple of used needles and empty beer bottles, the falls were nice to look at and the history was fun to learn about. I give it a full five just because the old forges are awesome. Even if one of them is completely blocked off

A great spot to watch the falls

Its very pretty. Great place to walk around and explore, and take some pictures.

Usually not too crowded. Nice views, city history.

Nice sights. Good place to take the kids to learn some of the cities history

Its my favorite spot to visit. It always changes every season with the amount of water cascading. Its a good place to meditate.

Most beautiful part of tye entire downtown district

Its a pretty way to view the waterfall, but the majority of the park encompasses just a single span bridge. Would be awesome if people were allowed to venture into the gorge, but I suppose when the location floods in high rain, that could be an issue. Definitely something to see, its right downtown.

Neat history and beautiful views!

Great place good food

Iconic place to visit and enjoy in Rochester. There is curb side parking near the falls and public parking garages.

Would of been better if things. Open but loved it

Good place for the Summer. There is outseating area. The great overview to high falls.

Its not everyday you see waterfalls in the middle of a city setting. Usually you find them in out of the way natural locations. To see one in the middle of a city setting next to an abandoned building, flowing under a railroad track and past an 858 long and 114 high pedestrian foot bridge (Pont Dr Rennes bridge). The bridge is quite high, so it can be scary for those afraid of heights (like me). The east bank viewing platform at the High Falls Terrace Parks gives you a close and fantastic view of the powerful 96 fall. Another fantastic view is from the rooftop of the Genesee Brew House opposite the falls. You can see the rock formations made up of shale, limestone, sandstone and iron ore. The falls are part if the Genesee River which flows thru Rochester, a city on the mend and recovering after Kodak filed for bankruptcy and Xerox left downtown Rochester. I did not stick around till dark to see if the falls were lit at night. Suggest stay at the local Hyatt in downtown Rochester not only to visit the falls, but to take in the local sites such as the Rochester Museum and Science Center which has a planetarium, and the Strong Museum of play.

I do belive this is a spot you need to stop at in Rochester. The falls are no joke. Theres a good vantage point and there is a brewery right behind where this photo was taken.

Loved the waterfall in the middle of the city.

Beautiful place to take pictures or take in the views

Great area to explore very scenic and plenty of things to do including food and drinks at multiple sites.

Great place for a short walk. There are several places to eat nearby why enjoying the view. The sound of the falls is so calming and the view is gorgeous!

Its A Great View Very Relaxing ...

High Falls really defines Rochester. Its a city, surrounded by nature, even if its a little dirty nature. Its a beautiful spot.

Very nice and quite place to gather your thoughts. Looking at the falls, take me back to when your city was a booming city. When the falls help power the flour mill and plant.

High Falls is beautiful and pretty darn amazing to witness. A good sized waterfall in the center of a major city in and of itself is quite amazing. A safe and (relatively) clean area thats easily accessible is also great. The High Falls area is deep in local history, if you are unaware of it do yourself a favor and Google it, very cool. Of, and the Genesee brewery and Tap room are right there.

It doesnt take long to visit this place, but its worth a stop. Its beautiful and theres a lot of history surrounding the falls. The old buildings make a great backdrop for the falls!

Great park great veiw of falls

Absolutely wonderful.staff amazing and food great.Will certainly make more parties there.

Seeing a water fall rushing out in the middle of the city is an interesting experience. What is equally impressive is the Pont De Rennes bridge right in front of the fall. I absolute enjoy the unobstructed view of the fall on this huge bridge structure.

Love the views, be sure to take a walk over to the side bridge close to the Genesee Brew House

Love to watch nature in the middle of Rochester, NY! Every now and then you may catch a glimpse of one of the Rochester Falcons!

Lot more to this area than I originally thought. The view from the bridge is very pretty.

Soooooo beautiful!!!

Nice place for a walk around the falls and see some cool looks architecture. Dont forget to stop by the Genesee brewery for a beer.

Did not meet my expectations.

Waterfall is beautiful an nice walking bridge

Beautiful place within downtown

Beautiful, 96-foot waterfall in the heart of the city. Easy to access, worth seeing. Grab a $5 flight at the Genesee brewery right after.

Loved learning some Rochester history!

Food was good but we waited several hours to finally eat, 6 of us and our entire order was lost. They did compensate us, and the food when it came was hot and good.

Genesee brewery...the best food and a must stop visit if in Rochester

This is a sight to behold. If youre in the Rochester area you should take a look. There is a path all the way around to see it at many vantage points, but the very best and most breathtaking view is on the roof of the Genesee Brewing Company restaurant.

Beautiful views. There is NOT a visitors center. There once was - it should be resurrected. !A self walking tour is a Rochester must.

A neat thing to see. My GF and I arrived in Rochester on the last day of the 2019 Jazz Festival, and we saw this while we were waiting for a concert to start.

Enjoy taking walks with your love, and watching the lights change color on the falls.

It is pretty but there was a lot of trash around. My kids enjoyed walking the bridge though.

Great historic district for visitors or those who just want to get a greater taste of Rochesters history. Numerous plaques summarizing the historical significance of the area, great observation points, and quaint little areas to relax.

Good for the soul

It has unrealized potential to be a cool spot on the river.

I was so excited to see the laser show everyone was talking about but they dont do it anymoreDefinetly old

We visited High Falls as a side visit to a RIT campus tour. We had a great time. A lot of photo ops!

Lovely walking area. Great place to sit and fall in love. The falls lit up at night are mesmerizing. My sweetheart took me here often in our first summer together-- wed ride through the city after dark on our bikes, and then stroll hand in hand along the bridge looking at the colors change in the mist. Wed always stay up way too late, not wanting the magic to end. I really love it when a train goes by, and the moon is rising over the cityscape behind the water. You wonder at all the lives that pass behind the dark windows in the buildings, and if any of them are looking back out at you, and the moon and the water. Or as I accidently put in one night when I was very sleepy, with my head resting on his shoulder but the night was too beautiful to pull ourselves away -- I love when the water-light on moon-falls.

There is some intriguing shopping here. Also the views are fantastic.

Great view of the Roc and the sound of the falls is all encompassing

I had a very peaceful and romantic walk around there.

Pretty cool to have a waterfall in the middle of town. Worth a stop if you are in the area for Strong museum or lunch at Genesee brewing.

Its really nice to sit here for a little bit

Amazing water fall and views in middle of downtown area.

Very Beautiful area! There was a lot to explore. Many Informative signs to read.

It was so beaitiful . lots of great pictures.

Beautiful area, and a great place to take a walk!

I can say that when I go there I feel relaxed and I share with others were to go and get the best experience in the place,,

It is so beautiful here my boyfriend and i always walk this bridge

Pretty cool and interesting to see the different areas all in one spot

No matter how many times i visit, i always find something new... and remain enthralled by the things i already discovered. Awesome history, breathtaking views, great walking paths. Fantastic place to go pictures or just hang out. Worth visiting repeatedly and is a gem for the Rochester area

Very beautiful.Loved visiting Genesee brewery

Just had lunch at La Luna. Very nice place. Good feel to it. Food was excellent. Only thing I might change is to bring bread to the table when folks order pasta meals. How else can we sop up the excellent sauce!

Great place for photo ops, lots to see.there are even a few places to eat. The walk across the river is always very Rochester. Its a fantastic part of the city, a must visit!

This beautiful park could serve you for a long walk or a short, scenic stroll. The waterfalls (and old entrance tunnel) up front are beautiful and scenic. There are enough trails looping through the area to keep you busy for quite a while. They could use one or two more you are here signs inside the park itself, which can get confusing, but its all good. The trails can get a little muddle, so wear hiking shoes. Also, the parking gets a bit tight over on the route 441 side, so you might want to enter off of Old Penfield Road (other side from 441). Overall, this is a beautiful place and you will enjoy it.

High Fapps is a beautiful place to go and watch the colorful falls and see the Rochester skyline. Its great for kids and pets as well.

The falls are beautiful but you cant see them well from here.

Beautiful site but needs the color changing lights back..

Excellent walk along High Falls and so historic in our backyard so to speak.

Great view of the high falls . Nice walk across the bridge.

I nice historic section of the city to visit .

I directed the gps to take me to Genesis brewery to get the best view

This gorgeous waterfall located in downtown Rochester and situated right next to train tracks is best viewed from the Pont de Rennes Bridge, a pedestrian only vantage point that allows you to take in this natural wonder.There are benches along the bridge to stop and take in the scenery and a nearby park and restaurants in case you need a lunch or dinner option. If you come in the late afternoon, as we did, the chances are good you may see a rainbow in the falls, which makes for excellent photo opportunities. Definitely a good date spot.

Only wish there was some place to buy a drink around the bridge. We were very thirsty!
