Two trips define waterfall season for Bound Brook. North at the Delaware Water Gap, Buttermilk Falls sends 165 feet of water down to a swimming hole, with the mile and a half of trail climbing a stiff 500 feet. Paterson keeps the historic one, where the Passaic pours over a 77 foot basalt ledge a short walk from parking, mill history thick around it. Beyond those two anchors the radius holds 21 falls, mostly quick strolls that welcome a dog.
