Raymondskill Falls
Waterfall
About
Raymondskill Falls is a three-tiered waterfall inside Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The National Park Service calls it the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania.
The trail is short, about 0.3 mile, but the park service describes it as fairly steep and uneven, rated easy to moderate with a climb of 178 feet. An upper viewing area looks at the upper pool and its large cascade, and a lower viewing area is the better spot for photos. You can reach the trail from the lower and upper lots on Raymondskill Road. Restrooms are in the upper lot.
When to go
The trail is a short walk, so it fits easily into a day of driving around the Pennsylvania side of the park. The upper parking lot is closed from early January to mid-April. In summer, the park service runs a Raymondskill Hiker Shuttle, so check its site for current details.
Good to know
Swimming and wading are not allowed within 50 feet upstream of the waterfalls or in the falls themselves.
Pets are not allowed on the trail. Food, picnics and alcohol are prohibited at this site.
A spur trail of a quarter mile, one way, leads to Raymondskill Creek. It is open from fall to spring and does not go to the bottom of the falls.
