An awesome opportunity to get out with great weather and enjoy the scenic views of the river and historic parts of the city. The trail is in great condition and it runs along the river and several hotels and restaurants.

My husband and I were at the Staybridge hotel on the west side of the river for 3 nights in Sept. Each morning, we'd get up early and walk along the River's Edge trail that was right behind the hotel. This part of the trail is the "natural" section, without a lot of planned landscape sections.

Don't get so frustrated in the center of town where the trail is very curvy and crosses busy streets (long waits for traffic). Once you get little up or down river, the trail is much better.

We only managed a very short visit to parts of the trail near the centre of Great Falls, along the river, but we were very disappointed by the falls, which have been spoiled by dams and the unsympathetic development along the river.The falls were unimpressive as the water flow was almost none existent. The trail appears popular with locals for... More
