Genesee Arch Bridge (Portage Trestle, Portage Viaduct)

The Genesee Arch Bridge (the formal new name given to it by Norfolk Southern Railroad) was recently rebuilt in 2017 at a cost of 71M dollars, replacing the steel structure erected in 1875.

Rainbow at Upper Falls

If you time it right, you can see rainbows in the mist of the falls.

Upper Falls (2020)

The Upper Falls are the first that greet you if you enter at Portageville. The Upper Falls are about 70 feet high, but their unique shape offer an incredible sight and show of force. The Portageville Trestle (Genesee Arch Bridge, Portage Viaduct) completed the sight. Visible above the falls, the trestle was recently rebuilt in 2017, replacing the original 1875 structure.

Middle Falls

Middle Falls is the tallest of the three river falls, at 107 feet. You are able to view these spectacular falls from a nearby trail, where you can feel the spray of the falls and see a rainbow in the mist, if you time it right. The falls are located almost directly below the Glen Iris Inn. (Note: Inspiration Falls [Ribbon] is a tributary falls, and is 350 feet.)

Inspiration Point Views

Inspiration point offers an excellent view of the Middle Falls, and a more obscured view of the Upper Falls. The vistas here are among the most breathtaking in the park.

Panoramic Composite of Hogsback

This view of Hogsback shows the main rock feature that resembles a boar's back -- and gives you a sense of the scale of the area.
