Confirmed from Raymondskill 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.
Scenic waterfall reachable via a shared road and a short hike with viewing areas.
What runners say about Raymondskill Falls

What an incredible hidden gem! Raymondskill Falls is the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania, and it’s absolutely worth the visit. The trail is short and easy, making it perfect for families or anyone looking for a quick nature escape.
Raymondskill Falls is the tallest and one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Pennsylvania. The falls consist of three different tiers. The trail leading to the is only a third of a mile long and has two sets of viewing platforms to view the falls. The platforms offer ample room and are a safe way to view the falls.
Visited on June 23rd. It's just a 0.3-mile trail if you want to see the falls from both the top and bottom. The trail offers beautiful views of the falls from both perspectives, and the walk through nature is lovely. It's a great spot for a quick visit.
This is a very beautiful fall & well manicured. Parking was easy and there was no fee to enter. This is dog friendly, but remember you are in bear country. The view of the falls above is equally as lovely below. The trail is a relatively short loop back to the parking lot. Definitely recommend. Restrooms onsite.
