Bushkill Falls

1 of 3

"Niagara of Pennsylvania" is one of the best spots to visit in Pennsylvania. The falls are close to Philadelphia (only about a two-hour drive) and make for a beautiful day excursion from the city. These waterfalls are spectacular, and they are located in the lovely Pocono Mountains. There are eight waterfalls in all, and they may be reached by a network of hiking routes and breathtaking bridges.

A simple 15-minute stroll along the Green Trail will take you to the viewpoint point for Main Falls, where the Bushkill Creek cascades over a 100-foot precipice into a large pool. From there, you may take the Yellow (45-minute), Blue (75-minute), or Red paths to visit any or all of the other waterfalls. The Red Trail is the most difficult and takes around two hours to finish, but it rewards you with views of all eight breathtaking waterfalls.
