Great Water Fall near a Great City - the VA side

by Prinsalsita - last update: Aug 27, 2006

Great Falls a mini version of Niagara Falls?
Great Falls is near Washington, D.C.
Here the Potomac River runs through and falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through a narrow gorge called Mather Gorge.

This explendid and natural site has become very popular visit not only for residents but also for world travelers visiting the Washington area.

"The river here was a trading place for Indians and early colonists, and it is still a gathering place today. History buffs and geology enthusiasts find plenty to interest them in the ruins of George Washington's dream canal and in the natural structure of the gorge itself.
