Based on this listing's approximate location — see the note on coordinates below.
Bushkill Falls is one of Pennsylvania’s most accessible waterfall attractions—not a government park, but a legal, family-oriented, fee-paying property. The main draw is the 100-foot Main Falls, reached via the Green Trail’s boardwalks and steps in about 15 minutes, making it ideal for visitors with limited mobility or young children.
The full property showcases eight named waterfalls across several trails of varying difficulty. The easier routes use constructed boardwalks and stone steps; longer loops venture deeper into the Pocono landscape. Dogs are welcome on leash.
As a seasonal, private attraction (April–November), plan accordingly. Call ahead or check their website for current hours and admission rates, which vary by season. This is an excellent choice if you want curated family-friendly falls viewing without backcountry hiking.
April through November when the park is open; spring (April–May) offers the most robust water flow.
30 minutes to 2 hours depending on which trails you choose.
You want free public access or are seeking a challenging backcountry hike.
