Reverted edit
I added this removed paragraph back: It was roughly 35,000 years ago that the Potomac River first began carving out the Great Falls of the Potomac. The waters of the river gather speed as they are forced through the narrow Mather Gorge and cascade over a series of several 20-foot (6-meter) falls. In all, the water falls a total of 76 feet (23 meters) in elevation over a distance of less than a mile (1.6 km), making the Great Falls of the Potomac the steepest and most spectacular fall line rapids of any river in the eastern United States. --- This useful paragraph was previously deleted by user http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ibn_Battuta ...

Unlike as labeled in some of the photos
Unlike as labeled in some of the photos, there is not such place as the "Great Falls National Park", and that should be as plain as day. The "Great Falls Park" is a much smaller and more minor place that any National Park, such as Yosemite National Park.24.156.78.205 (talk) 18:37, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
