This recreational area is a wonderful spot to visit, especially if you enjoy walking and exploring trails. The area is filled with small waterfalls and treks that offer scenic beauty and a peaceful environment, making it a great escape for nature lovers. I visited in December, and while the area was closed for vehicles, you can still enter on foot. Just note that you’ll need to park outside the entrance and walk in. This minor inconvenience is well worth it for the stunning views and the experience of being surrounded by nature. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit, whether you’re an avid trekker or just looking for a tranquil spot to enjoy the outdoors.
Really cool spot if you like to hike. Definitely wear proper footwear. Lots of uneven / rough trails. We had a great time, except when I feel & almost slid down waterfall into the creek at the bottom 😂 We did 2.8 miles total out & back following the markers.
My 3rd time here. Always a great time. This place has a lot of history with trains moving coal across PA. Check it out. Wear proper footwear to experience the entire trail. Well maintained with good parking and clean biodegradable bathrooms
Quiet, serene place to walk trails and climb rocks. I would suggest hiking shoes or sneakers with rugged, non-slip soles as the rocks can be slanted, uneven, slippery, or loose. No railings, so you may want to bring a walking stick. Not walker / wheelchair friendly. We did see quite a few dogs enjoying themselves. There is a port-a-potty building by the parking lot. My favorite thing to do was to plant myself on a rock and just listen to the water run.
We went right after a storm and it was so worth the risk. The paths are well kept so the rock stairs are flat and pretty level. There’s also roots to walk on around the paths that made it easy to avoid slipping! We parked at the bottom of the road, when you pull up there might be construction if you’re trying to turn left down the road so you’ll have to go around and come from the opposite direction. There’s 3 places that look like you can park, the first is no parking, there’s another parking lot that take you to a waterfall but we hadn’t gone yet. But there’s a web of paths to take at the bottom, any direction is beautiful! We found soooo many mushrooms and species of fungus!
