Is absolutely worth it ONLY if you are walking the whole trail (over 2h). Is amazing how beautiful is, but keep in mind that if you are going with older folks there’s a lot of long stairs and it will very difficult for them. Great for younger people or people on good health condition. Green trail should be free! $18 is too high for such a short walk.

If you're in the area, this is an absolute must see. I was a little put off by the price, but it is well worth it. The park is very clean and well kept, and the waterfalls are absolutely gorgeous. Go ahead and see all of it. The trail is definitely not easy but it's also not horribly challenging for most people.

An absolutely amazing place for Nature lovers to visit if you are visiting Del Water Gap..!! There are 4 different routes to hike on and you can easily spend about 2 hours here, I would suggest going on early so you can enjoy nature at its best.! Luckily I visited after a good rainfall and the water flow was just amazing! And do not forget to take some long exposure pictures of waterfalls.

My daughter and I absolutely loved it! We completed the whole trail in 2 hours and 10 including the many stops to admire the view, listen to the Falls and river’s current, admire nature and take pics. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes-hiking boots preferably, snacks and water if you are considering in doing the whole trail. We arrived around 1pm and it was busy but yet nice to walk and stop and admire the beauty of the Falls and trails. The paths are well maintained. There’s an entrance fee of 15 dollars weekdays, 18 on the weekends. There are a few concession stores and plenty of parking. People are friendly and will patiently wait during photo shoots. We really enjoyed it. Make sure to stop and take in the view. The long walk will definitely take a toll on your legs if you are not used to walking or hiking. Take your time. Definitely recommend.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Bush kill recreation area and the bush kill falls area are worth the visit. However some of the up hill hikes and stairways along the trails to see the falls may be difficult who have disabilities or other health related issues. There are a half dozen falls on different loops and legs of the hike. Very beautiful area. They also have a snack bar - cafe on the premises. Souvenir shop as well. Easy to get to . Near Delaware water gap and the New Jersey line.

Jonathan Bolanos | Dec 21, 2018

I believed the activities are more for a older children but you can look at the falls with out taking the whole hiking even tho steps are steep and no strollers are allowed. I have seen many people with babies enjoying the place. They have paddled boats. I think they fit only 2 people. Fishing they provide the poles. mini golf. Some exhibits with the local species and the history of the falls. Rock mining. Ice cream/sweets shop. The have plenty of picnics areas. A souvenir shop. I hope the info helps you decide.

Time taken will depends on the number of stops you make and your speed. The red trail has significant elevation gain which, for me, was the most demanding part, if you you have no problem going up a flight(s) of stairs, this should be no problem for you.
