Confirmed from Marshalls Falls Park'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.
Kid-friendly park featuring a waterfall at the end of a paved hike amid steep trails and loose rocks.
What runners say about Marshalls Falls Park
“Trail to left was very steep, had a unique cut out, and great view of top of falls.”
“Marshall Falls is such a peaceful spot — quiet, tranquil, and perfect if you’re looking to unwind away from crowds.”
My girlfriend and I took a weekend trip to PA. This was our last stop before returning home and we surely saved the best for last. Beautiful scenery, delightful ambiance, and a peaceful atmosphere. The waterfall was extraordinary and the hiking trail was fairly easy. We would love to return in the near future!
This was part of a whole weekend of waterfalls. This was the easiest to walk to, even wheel chair accessible. It was a short 5 minute trail, and it was easy for the kids to play in the shallow water…wish I had packed bathing suits!
Free entry during the week, plenty of parking and easy to find. Has paved trail and boardwalks- very accessible. Beautiful and peaceful. We climbed one of trails to the top of the falls, a bit steep but not bad
Visited this relatively new little park in The Poconos today. Wheelchair accessible to the view of the falls and some mildly challenging trails for those able. Beautiful views and pleasant surroundings. I didn’t see a picnic table, but there are a couple of places to lay out a blanket.
Trail conditions & character
“If you want to watch the waterfall and contemplate it's a good place but it was a bit of a disappointment for me as I was expecting something spectacular.”
“Also I am not sure if this applies to all days of the week, but we went on a Monday afternoon and there was no fee upon entry, parking was also easily accessible.”
“I didn't follow the trail because we had an infant with us and the ascent and descent to the trail looked too steep.”

“Great boardwalk and paved trail lead to waters edge where you can then turn and see the waterfall nestled between the rocks.”
