Based on this listing's approximate location — see the note on coordinates below.
Fulmer Falls is the middle waterfall on the George W. Childs Park loop, positioned between Factory Falls (the easiest initial reach) and Deer Leap Falls at the far end. The 1.4-mile circuit offers moderate hiking with 144 feet of elevation change and intimate gorge scenery throughout.
The NPS manages this area without an entrance fee. However, pets are strictly prohibited on the trail, and swimming or wading in the creek is not permitted. The landscape is best experienced during spring and early summer when water flow is robust and temperatures are moderate.
This waterfall loop is part of the larger Dingmans Ferry cluster in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, offering excellent value for visitors seeking multiple cascades and scenic gorge views in one outing.
Spring through fall when water levels support healthy cascades; April–May and September–October offer pleasant hiking conditions.
