Dedicate another day to learning about the unique history of High Falls and exploring its natural wonders. High Falls commemorates its origins with the D&H Canal Museum located in an historic Episcopal church in the heart of the town. The museum's exhibits include a working model of a lock, a life-sized recreated boat cabin, artifacts, and original paintings by canal-era artists. Get a map at the museum (or online) of the 5-locks walk and take a self-guided tour of refurbished locks 16 through 20 (originally built in 1847). The towpath is approximately 1/2 mile in length and can be accessed year-round without charge.
And of course, don’t miss the beautiful waterfalls. Kayakers and hikers alike enjoy the amazing natural playground in High Falls. If you're around for the warmer months, stop by the town's weekly outdoor flea market on Sunday to relish in a large display of interesting and fun objects.
After a day of outdoor activities nothing hits the spot like the High Falls Café. Their comfort food is made to order using the freshest ingredients. Their atmosphere is rustic and country. High Falls Café has a full service bar, drink specials, and a happy hour. Their well-known music events include live weekly music by some amazing local bands as well as many big names.
