Over seven acres of land surrounding the historic mill is being turned into a new riverfront park, offering a variety of spaces for all interests. Learn more about the project here.

Park plans are still being finalized, but may include a splash pad, observation pier, amphitheater, and more, in addition to the newly announced Whitewater Channel Development.

In August of 2025, The City of Danville shared plans for a brand new whitewater channel that will run directly in front of Dan River Falls. View the announcement and learn more about the development here.
