Can you think of anything more beautiful in nature than a waterfall? How about a waterfall framed in the brilliant colors of fall? Unfortunately, the fall foliage doesn’t stick around forever, so we’ve got a limited time to admire the vibrant landscape. If you love waterfalls as much as you love the fall foliage, carve out some time to visit Dingmans Falls in Pennsylvania.

Don’t forget your camera for this picturesque stroll along Dingmans Creek Trail, a boardwalk trail in Dingmans Ferry that leads to the spectacular Dingmans Falls, surrounded by the fall leaves.
Trip Advisor/Lana White
Pennsylvania in the fall is absolutely beautiful, and this is one of the best ways to admire the fall foliage. Make sure you return to see the spectacular cascade in winter (when frozen), spring, and summer, too.
The 1.4-mile trail makes it easy for visitors of all ages and skills to see the waterfall. It is both wheelchair and stroller-accessible.
Trip Advisor/Lana White
Fall colors in Pennsylvania are absolutely striking. Keep an eye out for the predicted peak of the foliage, so you can visit when the leaves are at their most vibrant.
Enjoy the crisp fall air and the fall foliage as you make your way to the 130-foot Dingmans Falls, the second-tallest waterfall in PA.
Trip Advisor/Tom P.
The title of the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania goes to Raymondskill Falls, which boasts a drop of approximately 150 feet. It's also a must-visit to see the fall colors in Pennsylvania.
Along the way, you'll pass flowing streams, towering trees, and wildlife. If you need a breather, grab a seat on one of the benches dotted along the trail.

Make sure you wear comfy shoes for your fall hike.
...climb up a wooden staircase that will take you to the upper part of the falls. Be forewarned, however, that the leaves may obstruct your views of the waterfall from above.

Take care, too, as you climb the stairs, especially if it has recently rained. The rain and fallen leaves can combine to create slippery conditions.
Save a bit of time for a stop at Dingmans Falls Visitors Center, where you can explore the exhibits or buy books at the bookstore.
