Summary: Bridal Veil Falls and her two brides maids are a triplet of falls located near Bushkill Falls. Much smaller than the big falls, and with much less water, but if you are visiting in the spring it is worth the hike.

Bridal Veil Falls is one of three smaller falls located in Bushkill Falls park. The main falls is about 25' high. It is accompanied by two smaller Brides Maid Falls, one a short distance upstream and the other downstream. This is a much smaller stream than Little Bushkill, and in the summer it can get pretty thin.

Finding the park is easy. There are lots of signs along the roads telling you how to get there. Bridal Veil Falls is the most remote of the falls in the park, but it is not hard to reach. From the base of the big falls, it is a half mile hike up along Pond Run Creek. Unlike the rest of the park, there is just a simple trail here, instead of boardwalks.

The park map describes this trail as "for hikers" and exaggerates its difficulty. I think they recognize that a lot of their visitors do not spend a lot of time outdoors, but any regular waterfall visitor is going to find this an easy walk.

Nearby Falls

Bushkill Falls is a half mile away, and you would be hard pressed to not have passed it on your way here. Another half mile takes you to the small Pennel Falls. The impressive Dingman Falls and Raymondskill Falls are each less than 20 miles away. New Jersey's Buttermilk Falls is 20 miles away by car, but half that as the crow flies..
