Discover Fall Foliage on Hikes to Pennsylvania Waterfalls

Discover Fall Foliage on Hikes to Pennsylvania Waterfalls

Tucked away in the Pocono Mountains, Woodloch is surrounded by breathtaking views and incredible examples of Mother Nature’s beauty. These picturesque sights are made even more stunning when they take on their fall hues. There are numerous ways to take in the fall foliage during an autumn escape at our Poconos resort, including visiting nearby Pennsylvania waterfalls.

A Checklist of 5 Waterfalls to Explore

As cooler temperatures start to settle in, leaves begin to change to golden and amber hues. While peak foliage season can vary year to year, most trees start to transform around mid-September before reaching their peak around early October. The best way to keep an eye on where foliage levels are is by looking at a fall foliage forecast. 

There are several waterfalls within a short drive from our all-inclusive resort. We highly recommend adding one or a few spots to your leaf-peeping itinerary.

1. Found inside Promised Land State Park is Little Falls. The 1.4-mile loop trail starts near the Lower Lake dam and features several creek waterfalls along the way. You can access the other side of the creek via a footbridge.
2. Another popular option is Shohola Falls, which is visible as you make your way along the .6-mile loop trail. Thanks to its shorter distance, this is an excellent option for anyone visiting with younger children.
3. Make your way to one of the two observation platforms to take in the three cascades that makeup Raymondskill Falls. This is the tallest waterfall in the state and features a trail that takes you to the top of the falls.
4. Give yourself plenty of time to explore Bushkill Falls. Nicknamed the “Niagra of Pennsylvania,” this area is home to eight waterfalls, all of which are visible when you hike the Red Trail. For a shorter hike, walk along the Green Trail to view the Main Falls.
5. Start at the on-site visitors center in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and walk along the boardwalk trail to Dingmans Falls. Make your way up the staircase to the upper falls for a birdseye view.
