Short and sweet hikes are sometimes all we need - because we're tired, don't have much time, or just want to relax - to give us the fill of nature we crave. The trail to Logan Falls in Pennsylvania, perhaps the state's most underrated waterfall, is well-worth what little time it takes to arrive at the cascade. If you enjoy Pennsylvania hikes and have searched "waterfalls near me" in the past, add Logan Falls to your list.

Measuring just .03 of a mile, Logan Falls Trail sits among the hundreds of thousands of acres of the Allegheny National Forest.

Wondering are there any waterfalls near me? You'll find several, in addition to Logan Falls Trail, right in Allegheny National Forest.

It's also one of those trails that's short, sweet, and pretty easy. Avid hikers, in fact, might consider it a short walk rather than a typical hike.

Heading to the waterfall, you'll go downhill. That means when you return you'll have to climb a bit uphill, so be prepared for that possible challenge.

Stunning any time of the year, the 12-foot waterfall is particularly beautiful and strong after a rainfall.

You can bring your pooch along on the dog-friendly trail, and you'll probably want to lather up with insect repellent if you're hiking during the warmer months.
