Bushkill Falls
A privately run chain of eight waterfalls in a hemlock-shaded gorge, linked by bridges and boardwalk trails, with the 100-foot main falls at the center; it bills itself as the Niagara of Pennsylvania.

A boardwalk through a hemlock ravine passes the slender ribbon of Silverthread Falls before reaching a 130-foot cascade that ranks among Pennsylvania's tallest waterfalls.
