An operated woodland attraction with the Main Falls and a network linking eight waterfalls.

Bushkill Falls is a collection of eight waterfalls in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, connected by managed trails and bridges. The Main Falls is the quickest waterfall to reach, while longer routes move farther into the wooded terrain. Decide whether your visit is a short viewpoint outing or a longer trail circuit before buying admission and entering.

The operator estimates around 15 minutes for the Green Trail to the Main Falls, but explicitly notes that it includes steps. Every waterfall trail here involves stairs, so a short route should not be mistaken for step-free access. The longer Red Trail is nearly two miles and includes all eight falls, with an estimated walking time exceeding two hours. Treat those times as planning guides rather than promises. Check opening hours, current notices and ticket details, and wear footwear suitable for wet wooden stairs and natural paths.
