George W. Childs Park

Posted on October 20, 2025 by Bob Hahn Photography

George W. Childs Park, part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, was named after philanthropist George W. Childs, who purchased the land in 1892 to create a public park. His widow deeded the land to Pennsylvania in 1912. The park features expansive hemlock groves, cascading waterfalls, a picnic area, comfort facilities, and a short hiking trail. The site includes three main waterfalls: Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls, and Deer Leap Falls. Visitors must stay on the trail, and pets, swimming, and wading are not permitted. The trail follows Dingmans Creek through a lush ravine, past the ruins of a mill and structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Factory Falls was once home to a woolen mill run by the Brooks family from 1823 to 1832. Fulmer Falls features a rustic pavilion built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and Deer Leap Falls is the final waterfall on the trail.

Raymondskill Falls

Posted on October 27, 2018 by Bob Hahn Photography

The Raymondskill Falls are located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (N41° 17.413? W74° 50.461). The falls are a series of three cascading waterfalls making them the highest falls in Pennsylvania, totaling about 150 feet in height.

There are two viewing areas, one above the top waterfall and one near the bottom of the second drop. The trail between them is short, fairly step and uneven.

There are two parking areas. Following the trail to your right will take you from the upper parking lot to the viewing area showing you a view of the pool and the top of the falls.

From the upper viewing area follow the trail down to the lower viewing area. This viewing area provides a great photo opportunity of the falls. This viewing area is accessed from a trail from the upper falls or from the lower parking lot.

During periods of high water you’ll be able to see another narrow waterfall flowing just to the side of lowest tier.

There are no marked trails to the bottom of the falls. There is a trail that can be seen on the other side of the fence that leads down to the bottom. The trail is narrow and very slippery, use extreme caution.

There are four waterfalls that are further upstream. These range in height from 10 to 25 feet tall, but are powerful when Raymondskill Falls is flowing well. To get to these falls, from the top of the upper waterfalls, go over a small hill. At the top of the hill, you’ll see a path that follows along Raymondskill Creek. The underbrush is very sparse, making it easy to make your own path along the creek. The banks are steep making photographs of these waterfalls difficult.

Another way to view falls up stream you can drive up Raymondskill Road. Turn left out of the parking area and go to the first bridge, the last of the four waterfalls is visible from the bridge. There is a small parking area just past the bridge. Cross the road proceed through the woods on the left side of the creek. The underbrush is very sparse, making it easy to make your own path along the creek.

Dingmans Falls & Silverthread Falls

Posted on October 24, 2016 by Bob Hahn Photography

Dingmans Falls is second highest water fall in Pennsylvania, 130 feet. Located in Dingmans Ferry in Delaware Township, Pike County, northeastern Pennsylvania.

This easy to traverse flat boardwalk trail meanders gently through a pristine hemlock ravine. Almost immediately after starting the trail, Silverthread Falls drops 80 feet in a thin ribbon of water through a narrow geometric chute. The boardwalk winds through dense rhododendron shrubs, past tall hemlock with dense canopy, and the sound of a powerful waterfall just around the corner. The boardwalk ends at the base of Dingmans Falls. The final tenth of a mile is a staircase that leads to a birds-eye view from the upper falls.

One can’t help but notice the cool breeze and mist coming from these beautiful falls. There is a benches along way to sit and enjoy the beauty.
