PC: The Cultural Landscape Foundation<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nIf you\u2019re looking for a waterfall so loud that you\u2019re unable to hear anything else in the city, this might be the spot for you. Located at 51st St and Third Ave, Greenacre Park has a waterfall that is so loud, that it drowns out all surrounding city noises. The waterfall is 25 feet high and is constructed from man-made granite blocks. The park offers the perfect escape from the city and is so beloved that it has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. With multiple seating spots to eat lunch or meet up with friends, it\u2019s the best hidden secret in Midtown. The park is open daily<\/a> from 8 am to 8 pm.<\/p>\nWaterfall oasis in Paley Park<\/h2>\n\n\n![\"New](\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PaleyPark.jpeg\")
PC: Project for Public Spaces<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAnother hidden gem in Midtown Manhattan is the oasis in Paley Park, often cited as one of the finest urban spaces in the U.S.! Located at West 52nd St between Madison and 5th Ave, this is a great spot to zone out and enjoy a more natural scene in the city. The park opened in 1967 and was built by businessman William S. Paley for his father, Samuel Paley. The waterfall is a good 20 feet and lit up by lights behind it, creating a magical atmosphere, that you’re sure to love especially in winter. So take some pictures and listen to the relaxing sound of the falls. The park itself is wheelchair accessible, making it a welcome space for all. Visitors are welcome 6 days a week<\/a>, Monday through Saturday between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm.<\/p>\nLargest Midtown waterfall<\/h2>\n\n\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/viewingnyc.png\")

National 9\/11 Memorial waterfalls<\/h2>\n\n\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/911memorial.jpeg\")
PC: 911 Memorial<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe waterfalls featured as the centerpiece of Michael Arad and Peter Walker’s 9\/11 Memorial are titled \u201cReflecting Absence,\u201d and are also the largest man-made waterfalls in North America. The significance of them? If you don\u2019t know already, each of these waterfalls are footprints of where each Twin Tower stood before September 11, 2001. Both about an acre in size, they release around 26,000 gallons of water every minute over the 30-ft walls. The names of the victims of the attacks are carved into the parapets surrounding the waterfall pools. The pools are open daily from 8 am to 8 pm for visitors who wish to stop by to pay their respects.<\/p>\n
The Bronx River<\/h2>\n\n\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bronxriver.jpeg\")
PC: Fine Art America<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThere are several waterfalls located along the Bronx River, most of which are connected to water mills that date back to the 1700s. The Snuff Mill Waterfall is located at the New York Botanical Garden. While this waterfall is technically a dam, when it was constructed to power the Snuff Mill in 1840, the water wheel is no longer there. The Rock Garden Cascade was built in the 1930s and is considered off the beaten path, and can be quite the quiet oasis on leisurely days. The 13-ft River Park Waterfall near the Bronx Zoo entrance is also technically a dam on the Bronx River. It\u2019s located near a large playground, so if you\u2019re looking to get away from the city with your kids, they can enjoy the playground while you enjoy some falls. The last waterfall along the Bronx River is the Twin Dam Falls. There are two falls, one is a classic waterfall drop and can be viewed from the Mitsubishi Riverwalk Outlook. The other is best viewed from inside the Bronx Zoo and is near the Bison Reserve.<\/p>\n
All these waterfalls are within walking distance of each other. If you’re visiting one, maybe just make a day out of it and visit all of them!<\/p>\n
Central Park Falls<\/h2>\n\n\n![\"One](\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/centralparkfalls.jpeg\")
PC: Secret NYC<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nEven if you\u2019re an avid Central Park goer, you may not have discovered some of the waterfalls inside the park. Five waterfalls are located north of the park and are completely man-made. The water running through these falls is also the same as the drinking water you get from the tap water in your home. This water is supplied to the falls from a 48-inch pipe hidden by the rocks at the Pool Grotto. Three of the Central Park waterfalls can be found along the Loch, a watercourse that flows through the Ravine in the North Woods. To find these three falls, the Central Park website<\/a> suggests entering through the West side from Glen Span Arch around 102nd Street. Once you’ve located the Loch, simply follow the moving water to find the three waterfalls.<\/p>\nBrooklyn Botanic Garden waterfall<\/h2>\n
