Fallkill Falls is a man-made waterfall in the Ravine area of Prospect Park, Brooklyn. It was fenced off from 1995 until Prospect Park Alliance opened the mulched Fallkill Trail to it in 2023. A Brooklyn Magazine walking route reaches it by a small bridge near Dog Beach at the edge of the Long Meadow, a short walk from the Ninth Street entrance on Prospect Park West. The trail gives a view from the foot of the falls. Stay on the trail and keep dogs leashed.
