Overview

The upper and lower observation platforms for Dingmans Falls will be inaccessible Monday through Thursday for final stage repairs to the boardwalk and decking. The main observation deck will be reopened Friday through Sunday.

Starting at the on-site visitors center, the flat boardwalk trail to Dingmans Falls meanders through a beautiful hemlock ravine. Almost immediately after starting the trail, Silverthread Falls can be seen on the right. The cascade gracefully drops 80 feet through a narrow chute. Past Silverthread Falls, the trail winds through rhododendron shrubs and by tall hemlock trees, a short distance to the waterfall. The boardwalk ends at the base of Dingmans Falls, the second highest waterfall in Pennsylvania with a plunge of 130 feet. View the falls from the platform or trek the final tenth of a mile via staircase for a birds-eye view from the upper falls.
