Confirmed from Oakview 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 Oakview Falls
“Right next to the walking path, old stone yields to the never ending flow of water in this picturesque waterfall straight out of a history book.”
Really cool waterfall! Right next to the walking path, old stone yields to the never ending flow of water in this picturesque waterfall straight out of a history book. The stones are slick, but climbing this beauty is a risk most should be willing to take. Incredible sight tucked away out of sight from most passersby.
I'm from Delaware County! Grew up in Drexel Hill in this was my first time seeing this place. My daughter and I decided to visit the cabin. Really neat. It was a beautiful day!
Went chasing waterfalls the other day and was pleasantly surprised at the area. Definitely a cool adventure to walk if near the city of philthadelpia.
Small trial...definitely was expecting more but it was still a pleasant walk.

“Quiet tranquil absolutely amazing here the waterfall in the background is something you just can't put a price on the log cabin is also something for pictures.”
“You don't have kids running around people scream of yellowed people ride their bikes chasing a dog's it's just a really nice relax will place I guess until the public finds it.”
