This is must do hike, about 4 hours relax drive from Long Island including a pit stop, it’s a 7 mile hike ( you have the option to do a 3.5 hike) with 21 waterfalls. It’s breathing taking, being in a forest intrigued by waterfalls of varying size. It’s such a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of life......it was an idyllic hike. I WILL do it again????????

We traveled from central new jersey to this place with family and kids and I must say its a good place to visit. It looks like there are multiple trails and the one we went to was to see the waterfalls. Here is how you navigate 1) I would recommend going early. We were there by 10:00 AM and hardly there were 2 cars parked. By the time we returned which as about noontime, the parking lot was full. 2) As soon as you enter the park, you will see a parking lot with limited spaces towards your right side. Park your car. 3) Keep walking out of the parking lot and take right and keep walking until you see a dead-end which reads "RESIDENCE" 4) The road then turns left and continues to follow the path. 5) Within a few minutes you will pass a residence on your right. 6) After crossing the residence, on your left you will a gravel mini parking area which leads to the trail. 7) Follow the trail to the waterfalls and enjoy the short hike. 8) The trail continues along the creek and we went further a bit. 9) Our kids really enjoyed this short walk.

Another adventurous activity , green forest hike with beautiful fall .which is in state of Pennsylvania on Pocono mountain Uplands. It is Bushkill Falls opened for public in 1904 .A stream from Rocky Mountain turns in to 100 ft deep scenic water fall. Though it is named as Niagara of Pennsylvania. but it is not so u can not compare it with a large gorgeous Niagara fall. But it has its own beauty. A small river turning in to a big water fall covered by green deep forest and rocky hill/mountain. Four trails developed for hike trail lovers-Green trail (easy one) yellow trail ( for family with children) blue & red trail some what longer , runs from 1 hour to 2.30 hours and in forest, mountains , ups & downs. Systematically made, developed and maintained considering safety of hikers/ viewers. If you are exhausted after a hike then outside trail you have snacks & ice creams, fudge and funnel cakes to satisfy hike of your stomach????. Clean Rest rooms r there and large place for parking. Really exotic place to visit.

Beautiful waterfalls! There’s a nice boardwalk if you’re looking for a short and easy walk, and then when you get to the main falls you can climb some steps and keep walking in the woods. Not really crowded except on summer weekends.

Beautiful spot. Be careful as the trailhead gets compacted with ice in the winter months, and can become a bit treacherous to get to the bottom. As with most popular hiking spots, try to get there as early as possible to beat the crowds.

Beautiful views of the falls, short hike. Some stairs to climb to go from the bottom to top of falls. If needing to avoid a lot of climbing, take the trail on the left as you face the restroom building and come back on that same trail.

We drove right past this gorgeous waterfall and went to the Ohiopyle visitors center not realizing it was there. The ranger there told us about this waterfall. We had some time to kill before our tour of Fallingwater. Cucumber Falls was on the way there. There was plenty of parking and boy was it worth the stop! Beautiful! You can walk down some stairs to get a closer look and to climb on the rocks to get closer to the falls. There is also a path and bridge that goes over the river back from the falls. Definitely worth the stop!

Stopped by here while on an afternoon drive. Nice small county park with a neat boardwalk down and below Buttermilk Falls, an area which was once owned by Mr. (Fred) Rogers' family. There's a picnic pavilion and some hiking trails beyond the path to the falls. Probably not somewhere to spend all afternoon, but good for a nice stop.
