Some would argue that the trails hidden inside this state park are some of the most scenic in all of Pennsylvania, while I haven't explored a ton of the state I sure see where the fans of this park are coming from. The campground is very large and reservations would be highly recommended if you a...

The waterfall is about 0.2 miles into the hike. I would recommend going to the very top of the biggest waterfall towards the end of the hike, there are steps leading up to it! There's also a hidden water hole at the very top of the waterfall about 0.2 miles up stream, I saw people in it during th...

Apart from the rock, there's more trail to follow for a stunning overview and a great spot to hang out and relax. The view is a must-see, it is so much better in person.
