Quick Facts

Parking - Auto, Restroom - Seasonal

The tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania, Raymondskill Falls, can be seen from two viewing platforms along this earthen trail.

This third of a mile trail winds down into a hemlock ravine where wooden plaftorms provide the perfect viewing and picture taking area at the top and middle of the cascades.

While the trail is short, the terrain can be steep and the trail is uneven. Expect roots, rocks, and other tripping hazards to be present. As with any trail or area near a waterfall, please look out for wet, slick, and slippery spots on the trail and platforms, especially in the winter.

Please Note:

PETS ARE NOT PERMITTED on the trail. Actively working and trained service dogs that provide medically necessary assistance are permitted anywhere their handlers are. Emotional support and therapy animals are not covered under ADA, so they are not permitted on the trail.

Leaving the boardwalk trail for any reason is not permitted in this site. The boardwalk trail is there to protect sensitive ecosystems and keep visitors safe. 

Swimming is prohibited.
