Waterfall views and night lighting
Fishkill Overlook Falls in Beacon features a man-made stone dam with an 8-foot drop (lit at night) and a natural 25-foot cascade along Fishkill Creek, set in a revitalized neighborhood with restaurants and galleries nearby.
Free · Outdoor · Quiet-friendly
The falls are visible and accessible from E. Main St with roadside parking; additional parking available in lots off Churchill St or Van Nydeck Ave.
A wheelchair-accessible paved walkway crosses the bridge and leads to an observation platform on the east side.
Visit in late winter or early spring when snowmelt makes the creek a dramatic torrent; the dam is illuminated at night.
No public restrooms on-site; restaurants and shops line Main St nearby.
Pets allowed on most of the grounds but not on Roundhouse Hotel property; must be leashed.
