Editor's Notes
Raymondskill Falls is the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania, dropping through a series of tiers in the Delaware Water Gap — its total height comes within just a few feet of Niagara.

The tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania at roughly 150 feet, Raymondskill Falls is a stunning three-tiered cascade in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area near Milford. A short third-of-a-mile trail winds through a hemlock ravine to two viewing platforms — one at the top and another below the upper two tiers. A more ambitious 3.1-mile loop combines the falls with Hackers Falls and a Cliff Trail offering views of the Delaware River. Free parking with composting toilets available.
