Whether you're looking for a quick and easy hike with some beautiful scenery or a long trek with a rewarding finish, these waterfall trails in the Poconos have you covered.
If you want to see a lot of waterfalls in a short period of time, look no further than Bushkill Falls. Known as the "Niagara of Pennsylvania," Bushkill Falls is a series of eight waterfalls in the Poconos and is undoubtedly one of the state's top attractions. There are several hiking trails that wind through the park, ranging from easy to moderate difficulty, so there's something for everyone.
Shohola Falls is a picturesque waterfall located in Shohola Township, about a 30-minute drive from Cove Haven Resort. To call the venture to the falls a hike is a stretch; it is more like a short, easy walk. Still, the Shohola Falls is well worth a visit; the falls are small but scenic and offer a peaceful place to bask in nature's undisturbed glory.
Located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Dingmans Falls is another must-see waterfall in the Poconos. The waterfall drops 130 feet, giving Dingmans Falls the title of the second-largest waterfall in Pennslyvania. The trail to the falls is a 1.4-mile round-trip hike on a flat boardwalk. Keep an eye out for Silverthread Falls, which can be seen shortly after beginning the hike.
If you're checking out Dingmans Falls at the Delaware Water Gap, you might as well add a stop at Raymondskill Falls to your itinerary. At 178 feet, Raymond Skill Falls is the largest waterfall in Pennsylvania. While the falls are big, the hike to get to them is quite short, just a 0.3 mile out and back trail. However, the trail is pretty steep, so keep that in mind.
