Bushkill Falls

Bushkill Falls is a series of eight waterfalls, the tallest of which cascades over 100 feet (30 m), located in Northeast Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. Beginning at the headwaters of Bushkill Creek, the water descends the mountain, toward the Delaware River, forming Bushkill Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Bridesmaid Falls, Laurel Glen Falls, Pennell Falls, and three additional, unnamed falls.

Bushkill Falls is a popular spot for hiking and birding. The area features a variety of trails and bridges that vary in length and difficulty.

Notes

  • Bushkill Falls is often called the "Niagara of Pennsylvania."
  • Bushkill Falls was opened to the public in 1904 by Charles E. Peters.
  • Bushkill Falls is owned and operated by the Peters family.

Make sure you get a map and a plan because there are about 4 trails. You can spend an hour or 2 just enjoying the hikes.

Yellow trail was awesome! Look ahead for color-coded signs, not only the one right in front of you. Skip the "official map"; you won't need it.
