Description

Added by Shawn Grenninger

Sullivan Falls is a beautiful roughly 30 foot waterfall near Ricketts Glen State Park, but in State Game Lands Number 13. There is a large parking area with a huge stone labeled 'Sullivan Falls' and from the lot it is more of a short walk vs a hike back a trail to the top of the falls. However, the area is loaded with cascades and waterfalls and a great area for experienced hikers to explore.

It is an easy hike to view Sullivan Falls, there is a very steep narrow path that leads to the bottom of the falls, use caution if you opt to explore the waterfall further.

Hike the Haystacks Rapids and Dutchman Falls

The Haystacks is a great end of the overall Loyalsock Trail. It is easily accessible, and fairly a gentile trail, however, the beginning is still a relatively rocky and will require some initial effort. When the trail intersects the rail road grade, you can turn left and take the path with the yellow LT blazes to the rapids. However, I would recommend you take sometime after the initial descent...

Photograph Mineral Springs Falls

Mineral Springs is a roadside waterfall near Worlds End State Park. It is worth the stop to photograph and fairly easy to move around on either side of the run to get different angles. This is a run not far from Canyon Vista which is another popular spot. The waterfall sits just off Mineral Springs Road, there is a small bridge over the run and small pull offs on either side. This is a gr...
