Bushkill Falls In Pennsylvania Is A Nature Lover's Dream Come True

A picture is worth a thousand words. Sure, our former English teachers would admonish us for using a tired, old cliché, but sometimes that cliché just works. Take Bushkill Falls in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania’s Niagara Falls is too beautiful for words, so enjoy the beautiful photos, which just might convince you that this amazing park belongs on your bucket list.

Bushkill Falls welcomes visitors all year, except during the seasonal closure from December through mid-March. The park opens daily at 9 a.m. while closing time varies according to the season and the weather.

Bushkill Falls charges weekly and weekend admission fees for adults, seniors, and children. Visitors who are three and younger get in for free.

A privately-owned park spanning 300 acres, the popular attraction receives no public funding and uses the profits from admission and other fees to maintain the park.

When you're ready to explore, make sure you pay attention to the park signs for your own safety and for the safety of others. Wear comfortable and sturdy shoes, too, for your journey through the park.

Discover eight waterfalls within the park, including the Niagra Falls PA.

The Main Falls cascades down 100 feet. Make that 300 feet if the falls drop all the way to the bottom of the Lower Gorge. It's one of the most impressive waterfalls in Pennsylvania.

Be prepared to walk up and down stairs and across wooden bridges to enjoy different views of the waterfalls.

Hikers can follow the hiking trails that total two miles.

Bring your camera or smartphone to snap stunning photos of the Pennsylvania waterfalls. Be forewarned, however, that cell phone service is pretty much nonexistent when you're in the park.

Pets are welcome at Bushkills Falls as long as they are kept on a leash and supervised at all times.

Picnicking along the trails is strongly discouraged.

Fishing is permitted. However, guests must first purchase a fishing permit.

You'll also find several fun, family-friendly activities at Bushkill Falls, so make a day (or a weekend) of it at the park. Go fishing. Rent a paddle boat. Mine for gemstones, or play a few rounds of miniature golf.

A visit to Bushkill Falls certainly wouldn't be complete without a stop at the snack bar and the gift shop.
