ABOUT THE PARK

The Whitewater Gorge Park, one of the City’s largest park properties, is a nearly 150-acre regional park between Test Road and Waterfall Road. The gorge area features several natural and man-made destinations along the way, including numerous quarries, vertical cliffs, Thistlethwaite Falls, the National Road Bridge, Starr Piano Company, Gennett Recording Studio, and the Test Woolen Mill site. Today, the park connects many small recreational areas and neighborhoods to the Whitewater River and the regional Cardinal Greenway. It also serves as a backdrop to regional tourism attractions, including the Starr Gennett Walk of Fame, the Whitewater Gorge Trail, the Whitewater Valley Fossil Hunt, and Thistlethwaite Falls.

THE PARK'S HISTORY AND AMENITIES

While the park itself provides a limited number of recreational activities and amenities, the broader area is well-known for many of the area’s features and historical ruins.
