Silverthread Falls is a thin tall falls in Delaware Water Gap National Park. The trail head for this falls starts at the Dingmans Falls Visitor center. This is by far the easiest waterfall to visit in the area. From the parking lot it is a walk of less than 200 feet on level accessible boardwalk to the base of the falls.

The waterfall is aptly named. The stream has found a natural seam in the rock resulting in a thin thread of a falls. The rock has been cut nearly perfectly straight in some cases, almost as if blocks had been quarried out.

The visitor center is off of US 209, just south of the 209/739 junction.

The much larger Dingman Falls is a few hundred feet down the same boardwalk. Raymondskill Falls is 7 miles to the north, and Bushkill Falls is 15 miles to the south. New Jersey's Buttermilk Falls is about 10 miles away by car. Near Milford is the currently inaccessible Pinchot Falls. A trio of falls are less than 5 miles in the nearby George Childs Park, but they have been off limits since the storms of 2018.
