Overlook Park frames the thunderous Great Falls and the brick Old Powerhouse—ideal for dynamic waterscape shots mixed with industrial historic architecture. Paved viewpoints and stairs give unobstructed panoramas; easy walk from Paterson drop-off. No entry fee; nearby street parking and a small lot can fill on weekends. Best in golden hour or overcast light to tame highlights; seasons change mood—lush summer, colorful fall, icy winter mist. Weekday mornings are quieter.
