Adams Falls is the last of the many waterfalls found on Kitchen Creek in Ricketts Glen State Park. The falls is a narrow chute with three distinct drops. This is the easiest waterfall in the park to visit. The waterfall is just a few hundred yards from the trail head. You can walk up to the crest of falls, and a set of stairs take you near the base. It is not easy to get a good look at the final drop

The trail head for the falls is right off of Highway 118 about 1 mile east of the 118/487 junction. There is a good size parking area, so unless the park is exceptionally busy, you should be able to find a parking spot.

This is the trailhead for the Evergreen Trail, a one mile long trail through old growth forest. This is also the southern end of the Ricketts Glen waterfall hike. A 6 mile round trip hike will take you past 21 more waterfalls.

The waterfall is named for Adam Kale, who was a watchman on Kitchen Creek employed by the North Mountain Fishing Club.
