Bushkill Falls
Known as the 'Niagara of Pennsylvania,' this privately run waterfall attraction has boardwalks linking eight waterfalls. It is the Poconos' most classic photo stop.
Bushkill Falls opened as a privately owned attraction in 1904. Eight waterfalls cascade down a wooded gorge, and the main falls drop about 30 meters. The park has four boardwalk and stair trails of varying lengths, from a 15-minute green trail to a roughly 2-hour red trail, so you can choose based on your fitness. There is also a small museum, fishing ponds and a maze. Adult admission is about 20 US dollars. The park is closed in winter. The trails have many steps and become slippery in the rain, so wear athletic shoes.
