Trail Description:

The three-tiered Raymondskill Falls is the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania. If you add the height of each cascade together, the waterfall is only a few feet shorter than Niagara Falls. While the trail is short, it is fairly steep and uneven. The upper viewing area provides a view of the upper pool and its large cascade. The lower viewing area provides a great photo opportunity of the falls.

A spur off the main trails provides a quarter-mile, one-way walk to Raymondskill Creek. This trail spur is open from Fall to Spring, and does not lead to the bottom of the falls.
