Hidden within the vast natural space all across Pennsylvania are gems that, unless we get out there and explore, we might never see or experience. Deep in the Pennsylvania forest, for example, is a three-tiered waterfall. Called by some the most remote waterfall in Pennsylvania, it’s a must-visit, and it doesn’t require too much effort to reach it either.

Covering more than 305,000 acres in Renovo, Sproul State Forest offers plenty of opportunities to get out and explore on foot, horse, mountain bike, and ATV.

Hikers waiver between it being easy and moderately difficult, but it really depends on your experience and skills. The terrain is quite rocky, so keep that in mind when choosing shoes.

Because it is so remote, you likely won't run into many other hikers. You probably will, however, share the path with salamanders and other local wildlife.
