Prospect Park Alliance: fall foliage walk through the Ravine

Ambergill Falls (Ambergill Cascade) is one of the waterfalls Olmsted and Vaux designed in Prospect Park's Ravine. NYC Parks says it is visible only from Rock Arch Bridge, a stop on the 0.42-mile Ravine Loop. The Prospect Park Alliance walk starts at Grand Army Plaza: take the eastern path to Endale Arch into the Long Meadow, follow the east side of the meadow, take the left path into the woods, go down the stone steps to Boulder Bridge, and continue down the steps to Rock Arch Bridge and Ambergill Falls. Maps are posted at most park entrances. The route description dates from 2014.
