This place was breath taking and I could not believe how many water falls they had in this park. The sizes of each one was so beautiful. I never seen that many waterfalls in one area. My friend took me here to see it and I am happy that I went with her. We both enjoyed it.

Beautiful park with amazing hiking trails. The falls trail is not for beginners, so don't forget your boots. Please be safe if you go, let someone know where you are, and be respectful don't litter. This place is a treasure.

The waterfall trail was an amazing hike, you need to kind of reconcile the paper map with waterfalls listed on it with the big display maps to find your way, or at least I did. It was a 3 hour hike for me with lots of stops to enjoy the different falls. Beaches were closed and the fog added an interesting element to the hike. A must do for hikers and waterfall fans.

Went on the Waterfall Ice Hike with Valley to Summit outfitters and had a great time. Have been to the park once before in the fall and absolutely loved it and wanted to see this park with the waterfalls frozen. Both times did not disappoint! If you go in the winter you must be experienced with all of the right equipment or go with an outfitter. If you go the other seasons make sure you go early to avoid much of the crowds.

Questions & Answers

How long is the Ricketts Glen falls trail ( round trip )

Ritchie Marsteller | Aug 9, 2019

It all depends on the shape you are in and how much u want to stop and enjoy the falls. I am 56 and have mild asthma and on a scale of 1-10 athletisim I would only be a 4.5 at most. We stopped alot and did the 7.2 mile loop with lunch at Waters Meet in about 6.5 hours. Probably would have made it in 4.5 with only brief stops and half as many awesome pix. :)

You can definitely do this with your kids! Ours accomplished the whole waterfall loop at age 4, 8, 14 and 16. No one fell and it was beautiful!
