Rochester Waterfalls
The Genesee River goes over several waterfalls: the High Falls, Middle Falls, and Lower Falls1. The largest waterfall, as most well known is the High Falls. It is viewable from a large pedestrian bridge that spans the gorge that the water drops into. The second largest, and also the highest of the falls, is the Lower Falls which is accessable from Seneca Park. The best place to view the lower falls is from the Driving Park Avenue Bridge (

The grassy area near the Lower Falls contains a monument of some sorts called The Seat of Forgetting and Remembering.
