Bushkill Falls are a series of breathtaking falls surrounded by mountain scenery - trees, bushes, etc. If you can go during the week when it's less crowded, that's a plus. Wear sturdy shoes, take a carry-on water bottle, a good camera, and enjoy the experience. There are some benches where you can sit for a spell and watch the little... More

The day we went to the falls it was sprinkling. So we did get a little wet, but the temps weren't cold and it was still really beautiful and fun to climb the falls. We took an umbrella so that helped a lot. I'd say wear good hiking shoes, and maybe a bottle of water to drink. Take a camera... More

Not quite the magnitude of Niagara Falls but accessible and beautiful. The trails along the slopes are built with stairs and safety rails. You actually stand over the falls and gorges. The trails are marked easy to difficult. Lots of stair climbing--not for the faint of heart. We went in the morning about 10am before the school excursions so it... More

We loved our visit to Bushkill Falls. The Falls are very impressive and the trails are well-maintained and marked and make it easy to enjoy all aspects of the natural feature. The staff is very helpful and you should probably have good footware. More

Great value, great trails, and great falls! I wouldn't recommend it for small children. Alot of the trails are rocky some paths are wetter because of the water. I think its a great active attraction, More

If you like to hike and take in beautiful scenery and possible some wildlife then this is the place for you, Take the RED trail, (The longest one), enjoy the falls and everything this area has to offer, fudge shop, souvenier shop, miniature golf, etc. just a short drive from Rt 209. I have not met anyone who was dissapointed. More

While this may have been a lovely natural feature at one time, the owners have completely overtaken this place with wooden steps and walkways, parking fees and entrance fees. It was very crowded, and the jam of people on the walkways made it feel more like a subway station than a pristine natural spot. More

My family just visited Bushkill Falls and it is really a beautiful place, and well maintained. There are lots of trail options and none too strenuous, my 5yr old and a 70 year old with one lung did just fine on the red trail. Just take your time. There are plenty of benches and rest options through out. Make sure... More

I was there in the spring after a week of rain. The stairway to the bottom of the main falls was crowded, but spend some time at the bottom watching the falls. Then continue on the red route, which is for "hikers" but really anyone wearing a decent pair of shoes can do it. There are stairs but lots of... More
