City of Scranton official parks page, checked Sept 2026: describes Nay Aug Park's 'rock-strewn gorge and waterfalls' on Roaring Brook, designated a National Natural Landmark, viewable from scenic overlooks and walking paths near the pedestrian footbridge. The city page does not publish a waterfall height, trail mileage, fee, or pet policy, so these are left null rather than sourced from third-party estimates (commonly cited elsewhere as ~15 ft, but that figure is not confirmed on the official city page).
