Overview

Bushkill Falls, the "Niagara of Pennsylvania," is a privately owned 300-acre park in the Pocono Mountains with eight waterfalls reached by trails and wooden boardwalks. Four color-coded routes range from easy to challenging, and the main fall drops more than 100 feet. There is also a wildlife exhibit, fishing pond, mini-golf, gemstone mining, a museum, and a gift shop. It is open seasonally, from spring through fall.
