When we went here it was a drizzily gray day, but that didn't affect the beauty of the falls or the nature trail. The trail was mostly a composite material walk way and very well kept... there were some stairs to get to the top of the falls, but for the most part easy walkin'. Plus the nature giuide was very knoledgeable and friendly!
Walking along the paths at Dingmans Falls in spring lets you see the Mountain Laurel and Rhododendrons in bloom. The falls can be seen from the bottom and you can climb a stairway to the top. There is a ranger station with exhibits of the wildlife in the area and you can ask questions to the Ranger station there.
This free and handicap accessible walk to two falls was great. There is a boardwalk that takes you past a tall thin fall and then to the high falls which is just breathtaking. For theses so inclined you can climb the many wooden steps to the top of the falls. Since I had recently had ankle surgery I was so happy to have an accessible way to see the falls.
Wonderful experience in the 1950's as a child...it was privately owned and had a charm Tocks Island Project (federal) in the 1960's voided the privately owned operation but was put on a half life stand-bySo the falls are now a Federal Park attractionOriginal home still on site & alsoa big (seasonal only) ranger station, shop, museum, etcBoard walk makes it handicap able and it goes to both fallsSteps to upper falls avail but difficult (was a Boy Scout project that needs upkeep)July is best w/ rhododendron blossoms & Jan/Feb w/ frozen falls Lots of erosion in the past decade so road is under repairSilver Thread Falls is quite spectacularIt's a great place to see outcrops, strong waterfalls & a surviving remaining Hemlock ravineGood for any age groupBeen going on a regular basis since the late 1950's & early 1960's
Beautiful 2 mile hike. Apparently we came in the back way per Trip Advisors directions but made it to the main hike path no problem. Love hiking off season looks like it would be very busy on the summer. Well worth the trip
A well-maintained boardwalk and stairs with wonderful forest all around. No entrance fee. A nice way to spend an hour.
We drove the approximately 8 miles from Milford to view the falls. I was especially looking forward to it because many of the trees had already turned color. When we got there the road to the falls was closed. There were cones and a sign stating road under repair. It was extremely disappointing. The state of Pennsylvania or local tourist agency should be able to put this information out to the public somehow.
It is a quick visit but very serene and beautiful. If you have the energy you can climb the steps to the top of the falls and look down. Otherwise, the wood walkway to the bottom of the falls is lovely. In July, the wild rhododendrons are in bloom and surround the walkway. (look a little like mountain laurels). It's worth the stop if you are in Dingmans Ferry.
Stopped at Dingmans falls to check out the waterfalls. The trail is fully handicapped accessible and an easy walk for anyone. There is a shop on site with guides and rangers available to answer questions. While there, there was a guided tour that was very interesting and informative. Both waterfalls were nice. The second one can be seen from a higher post but many stairs and climbing to get to the top. Worth the walk.
This is absolutely beautiful and at least as nice as Bushkill Falls and it is free. There are guided tours if you are interested and there is not a lot of climbing. Whatever climbing you have to do is on staircases with handrails.
