Visit this pretty 20 foot roadside waterfall in the Loyalsock State Forest.

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 want to enjoy your lunch next to the falls.

Dry Run Road is a dirt road, though well maintained and accessible by any type of vehicle. The road is often closed for some of the winter when it becomes snow covered.

The falls is easy to access and I often stop here for a quick photo or two when I'm in the Loyalsock hiking.

Gipson Falls

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

This is a moderate hike that does involve some uphill hiking to reach the top of the plateau and some downhill hiking to reach the base of the waterfall. 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 ...

Hike to Mill Creek Falls in the Loyalsock State Forest

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...

High Bridge Falls/Hoagland Branch

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...

Photograph Mineral Springs Falls

Mineral Springs is a roadside waterfall near Worlds End State Park. It is worth the stop to photograph and fairly easy to move around on either side of the run to get different angles. This is a run not far from Canyon Vista which is another popular spot. The waterfall sits just off Mineral Springs Road, there is a small bridge over the run and small pull offs on either side. This is a gr...

Rough Hill Trail

Access to Rough Hill Trail is easy to locate, it is the same parking as Sandy Bottom Access to the Loyalsock Creek and there is a large sign at the turn off on route 87. Once you are in the parking area, there is clear signage for the trail and it is blazed yellow initially following back past the gated road. The trail will then veer off to the right and eventually across route 87. Once a...
