Tiered waterfalls

Great Falls

The Great Falls are a manmade tiered waterfall that cascades down the side of Duke Reservoir, located ~a half and a half away from the Orientation Center.

 

The beauty of the falls can be viewed from the lawn located on West Way. In the warm seasons, the falls go off for ~10 minutes four times a day – 10:00 am, 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. They are shut off in the colder seasons.
