Huntington Falls

Attraction · Golden Gate Park, California

A cascade approximately 90 feet high on the flank of Strawberry Hill, of concrete sculpted to look like natural rock.

History

The falls were completed with Stow Lake in 1893 and are named in honour of the railroad magnate Collis P. Huntington. In 1962 a broken irrigation line undermined much of the concrete foundations, causing a collapse, and the falls were completely reconstructed in 1984.
