Confirmed from Dingmans Falls' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Dingmans Falls
“A very well maintained area of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with 2 waterfalls (Silverthread Falls & Dingmans Falls) on the trail!”
“Such a beautiful place and there was no entrance fee as in bushkill falls and to be honest dingmans falls were more beautiful than bushkills ( just my opinion 😅).”
“Our recent adventure led us to the enchanting Dingmans Falls, where a brisk hike unveiled serene cascading waterfalls.”
“Beautiful free & easy walk with well maintained walkways & lots of rhododendron plants that would be blooming in July.”
Beautiful free & easy walk with well maintained walkways & lots of rhododendron plants that would be blooming in July. Stroller and handicap friendly right up to the base of the falls and then there are stairs to the top of the falls. We also talked to a very nice park ranger.
Gorgeous and easy. Myself, two kids (4 and 7), husband, sister and brother in law all went on this hike today and it was so fun. It’s an awesome trail if you’re just craving some fresh air and wanting to get out and move. My kids were great, didn’t complain or fuss whatsoever.
A very well maintained area of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with 2 waterfalls (Silverthread Falls & Dingmans Falls) on the trail! The boardwalk makes the trail very accessible and has benches to sit near the waterfall.
Great place to visit if you want to go see water falls they have two. Very easy walk with easy access. Whey better than bush kill and its free. They even have bathrooms in the beginning of the trail. I even saw someone pushing a wheel chair on the trail and it didn't look like they were having problems.
