Confirmed from Little Falls Trail's 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 Little Falls Trail
“While a trail does continue on past this point, it requires a water crossing and adds nothing in scenic enjoyability.”
“) on a well marked, although muddy in parts trail, lead us to the bridge crossing the creek and the view seen in the photo.”

Not much of a workout or hike but a great short trail with BEAUTIFUL views!
Oh, friends, let me tell you about a little gem tucked away in the heart of Pennsylvania—*Little Falls Trail*. It's like stepping into one of nature’s paintings. You wander down this peaceful path, and the first thing you'll notice is how the trees, with their golden leaves, just seem to whisper a warm welcome.
Not to be missed when visiting Promised Land State Park. Easy hike with appropriate footwear since it’s rocky and with lots of roots. Beautiful scenery along the whole trail which is under 2 miles.
Nice short trail with some great views of the nearby dam and small waterfalls. It's part of a larger trail system that you can take around the park. Definitely worth a visit if you are at the park
