High Knob Trail from Dry Run Road

One of the most accessible waterfalls in all of Pennsylvania, Dry Run Falls is right along Dry Run Road in the Loyalsock State Forest. You can see the falls from the road and a short walk from the parking area will bring you down to a great vantage point for photos. You can also walk to the top of the falls and explore the little cascades just  upstream. There are a few picnic tables if you wa...

The Loyalsock State Forest is full of beautiful waterfalls and Mill Creek Falls is one of them. The 12 foot high falls is one of the smaller falls in the forest, but is still worth a visit as it sits in a beautiful grotto and contains a scenic plunge pool. I've also never seen another person in my trips down to the falls, despite it being a relatively easy hike. To get to the falls, it is a sho...

Gipson Falls is the other waterfall on Falls Run just off the Loyalsock Trail.  There is a parking area for the Loyalsock Trail on Brunnerdale Road just off of Ogdonia Road.  From the parking follow the Loyalsock Trail along the run for about .5 miles, once the Loyalsock Trail turns right and heads uphill, break away from the trail and continue along the run on an unblazed but well worn trail....

Angel Falls is relatively easy to find though, with the Loyalsock Trail leading to a clear side trail that takes you straight to the top of the falls. Start from the clearly marked parking area along Ogdonia Road (if coming from Route 42, it ...

This beautiful photogenic spot in Loyalsock State Forest is viewable as you drive by, but be sure to stop and take some photos. The Hoagland Branch Road (gravel forest road) drives right by this scenic waterfall and waterway, you will see it while crossing on a small bridge. There is a pull off right after the bridge.   The run feeding the waterfall is somewhat seasonal, so best time is sprin...
