The Little Known Waterfall In Pennsylvania You Can See On This Trail

Chasing waterfalls is oh-so-easy and so much fun. Reaching Pennsylvania’s dozens and dozens of waterfalls can be easy, requiring just a simple walk from the car. Or the trek can be challenging, requiring plenty of time and stamina. Little Falls Trail, which leads to a beautiful but little-known waterfall in Pennsylvania, falls somewhere in between a short stroll and a challenging trek. It’s worth checking out if you’ve got an hour or two free.

Little Falls Trail winds 2.7 miles through Promised Land State Park, taking you past an abundance of natural beauty. A few surprises wait along the way, too.
