Raymondskill Falls

Beautiful waterfalls in the lap of the Delaware water gap reserve. We have visited with our toddler 👦 during fall colors🍁, as easy to access because of shortest trail paths. We went only the down side path as suggested it is the nearest and easy accessible. Parking is bit challenge. Washrooms are available. I did not find great picnic spots around with kids as most of the surfaces are rough and slope. We can easily spend an hour and half with kids.

Last Saturday was my first time there and I will be back for sure. The waterfalls are amazing.
No need to hike.
Two parking lots are available.
One restroom was open.

Decent view and not difficult to go down the stairs to see the waterfall. It’s slippery in winter. But you can not contact the water, you are warped by fences, and it is prohibited to cross it.

The trails are ice covered and rather treacherous in spots...you really do need good boots, ice spikes and some trekking poles to see the falls safely between now and the next snow melt...but having said that...the falls are flowing beautifully!

Nice, short walk on a winter afternoon. Be careful of roots etc. as you make your way down. Will be back in warmer weather when I bet this place will be packed. Lot was almost full in February.

An amazing falls and easily accessible for many age. Parking is bit rougher and on busy days on site parking is not allowed. You have to park your car in Milford knob and shuttle will take you to parking near Raymond skill falls area. Distance from Milford knob to Raymond skill is 3 mile one way and there is a trail you can do. As such distance from Raymond skill parking to upper cascade is .2 mile and round trip would be .4 mile. There are two ways you can go to falls , one which takes on right side of restroom area will take you to top and from there you can down on rock steps (for some it might be a challenge and Rainy days it might be slippery). One which on left side of restroom area was gravel paved walking path and can take stroller too. There is benches on the way not a lot of benches but few in the trail and on spot of water falls. There was portable potty toilet on parking, also there is a restroom but was closed instead there was a portable potty.(May be due to long weekend). Water looks bit dirty and swimming is not allowed. We witnessed a bear and baby bear nearby parking and so consider while planning. There is no picnic table or area so may not advice on bringing food here. There is a trash cans on the parking area. Shuttle take approx 10 min one way and the last shuttle is 4 pm from knob to parking. This time might Various and check before you plan.

They're 3 waterfalls to see all in the same area. It's a a good hike to the top. But, you don't have to go to the very top to see them all. Great view.

First a warning! On weekends and holidays in the summer you cannot park at the falls lot. You have to park at Milford knob lot and catch the (free) trolley down. Now that that is covered, the falls are a nice hike. The trails are nicely maintained and there are wooden overlooks at the falls. It has changed quite a bit since I last visited. Back when I was a kid you could go into the water, sit by the edge and there used to be more trails down to the multiple levels of falls, However that's long in the past. You can't swim, fish or camp. 95% of the trail is fenced in now with no way to even touch the water. But there is still plenty of fun to be had! Great place to watch wildlife of all sorts. Frogs, efts, toads, deer, and birds. We even saw a black bear! (I was grateful for the fence then.)

Wow! What a beautiful waterfall! We went to visit this fall when we where in town so happy we stopped and checked it out , it was so amazing the beautiful scenery and the water crashing down was so amazing! What a view ! Be aware the sign says you do share the area with black bears !!! Be safe !!!

Very peaceful. I am a lover of waterfalls. I really enjoyed this one.

What to expect:
You will have to drive down a shared road. Take your time there are A LOT of pot holes.
There is an area you can pull into people are in and out.
There are A LOT of bugs.
There is a trail and you will have to climb steps.
There are warning signs everywhere about black bears.

Short hike to a beautiful set of waterfalls. Trail is not long but a little steep in spots. Stairs leading to a viewing platform. Close to Delaware River Water Gap. Decent amount of parking.

A stunning view of the falls. Easily accessible from the small parking area. I recommend not coming during peak times on the weekend. Fewer visitors on weekdays.

One of the nicest fall in the area, You can enter there for free. Places is well organize and very clean. If you combine all falls together this is the tallest fall in Pennsylvania state. Require very short hiking, everything is safe with guard rails even for small kids definitely recommended place to see.

Wow, what a cool waterfall! The trail is relatively short and definitely worth it! If it is wet out, be ready for the rocks to be a little slippery. The main waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania. It can be viewed from above or base of the waterfall. There are stairs involved if wanting to view the waterfall from above. While at the base, check out the left side of the boardwalk to find another little bonus waterfall! Great part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to visit. There seem to be 2 parking areas, with one having a flatter and more accessible area.

Make sure to park at the Milford Knob parking lot and then, take a free shuttle that runs till 4pm. I think this applies only to weekend visitors.

The fall is like .3 mile from the actual parking lot. It is all fenced and you can’t go near the water. It’s good for a quick stop and enjoy the gushing waters.

Unexpectedly short trail but super impressive waterfall. Definitely worth visiting. Other trails in Delaware Water Gap area were closed for the season, but this one is open and it was great. Must be looking awesome when frozen, or in fall foliage season

Nice falls. The quickest way to the falls is the trail to the right of the restrooms. Some stairs are steep. The picture looks like a hat at the top of the falls. It also looks like someone is wearing sunglasses

Absolutely beautiful waterfalls! And a very small hike to get there!
So many times I've hiked a good ways to get to what people call waterfalls and they're like rapid rivers. These were actual falls and fairly tall ones.
Then you can take a nice hike to more (that weren't as big but we're just as pretty) and some great overlooks.
Also, there were many types of mushrooms growing along the paths to the other falls/overlooks.

Amazing waterfall with easy access. Be aware that parking requires a shuttle to get there, and there are signs with directions. Easy drive to get there but no cell signal in the area.

Delighted to be greeted by NPS staff on a Columbus Day weekend hike and get a junior Ranger badge! Well-maintained, stunning natural resource. We enjoyed a 5 mile hike along the ridge trail as well. Highly recommended.
