Raymondskill Falls
Milford, PA
Often called the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania, dropping in three tiers, a short but steep walk from a lot in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The side road off US-209 is narrow; not for large RVs.
Raymondskill Falls is a three-tiered waterfall in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Pike County near Milford, Pennsylvania. The NPS calls it the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania.
The Raymondskill Creek Trail is about a third of a mile long and leads into a hemlock ravine. Two wooden platforms, at the top and in the middle of the falls, offer views. The trail is short but steep and uneven; roots, rocks and slippery spots call for sturdy shoes. Pets are not allowed on the trail, swimming is prohibited, and you may not leave the boardwalk.
For road-trippers: the trail can be reached from the upper and the lower parking lot on Raymondskill Road; the upper lot is closed every year from early January to mid-April. A hiker shuttle runs in summer. Do not simply trust the navigation to the exact address; check access and fees in advance.
