Ricketts Glen State Park
Hike a series of trails to view 22 named Waterfalls and Lake Jean
We’ll hike a steep ascent of nearly 1000 feet via the Falls Trail to see 13 named waterfalls, then on to Lake Jean for Lunch. We’ll extend our lunch break for those who wish to relax or take a refreshing splash. The beach area has a beach house, showers and a concession stand. Since our return trek is nearly 6 miles, it is important to wear dry clothing - please pack swim attire if you plan to swim. Our return hike will descend alongside 8 other named waterfalls followed by a short loop hike on the Evergreen Trail to see Adams Falls. This is a moderately paced scenic hike with numerous breaks to enjoy the Falls. Sturdy hiking footwear is required for this terrain. Bring a minimum of 2 quarts of water, Lunch & Snacks. No pets. Rain may cancel or delay. You may call, email and/or visit: Mountain Trekkers for updates and other information such as directions, map links, rain cancellation or delay. Meeting Place: 8:00 AM at the Walnutport Rite Aid, 300 S. Best Ave. Walnutport, PA 18088. We’ll depart 8:15 AM.
