A portion of the original Gorsline Building is now a terrace park for viewing the falls and river gorge.

Don't miss three landmarks seen only from this location: the eastern view of the lip of High Falls, the original wheel pit of Rochester's early saw mill, and The Leap, a small balcony near the spot where waterfall daredevil Sam Patch took his last jump. More than half of Rochester watched as Sam took his fatal plunge on Friday the 13th of November, 1829.
