Genesee Arch Bridge (Portage Trestle, Portage Viaduct)

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.)
