Dingmans Falls
The second-highest waterfall in Pennsylvania. An easy boardwalk leads to the base in a few minutes, passing a delicate thread-like waterfall along the way.
Dingmans Falls is in the northern section of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It drops about 40 meters and is the second-tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania. From the visitor center, an accessible boardwalk runs about 800 meters through a hemlock forest, passing the slender Silverthread Falls. At the end, you can look up at the main falls. The round trip takes 30 to 45 minutes, making it suitable for older adults and children. Admission is free. Roads and trails are often closed in winter, so check National Park Service notices before you go.
