Summary: Raymondskill Falls is a three tiered waterfall that drops nearly 150 feet, and is generally considered the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania. It is easy to visit, and one of the highlights of the Delware Water Gap.

Raymondskill Falls is a three tiered waterfall with a total drop of 150 feet. In terms of height and waterflow, this is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Pennsylvania or on the east coast. It is also relatively easy to visit. The main viewing area is just a few hundred from the parking area, but you do have to descend the height of the falls.

The viewing opportunities are a bit limited. The main viewing area is at the base of the upper two tiers, and just at the brink of the last tier. The top two tiers make up the bulk of the falls. There is no way to get to the base of the final tier or to get a full view of it. There is also a platform at the brink of the falls, but you cannot see a lot from there.

There is a smaller side falls just downstream of the last tier. I visited the falls after a good rain and this falls was flowing well. You can only see the tail end of it from the viewing platform.

The falls is located off of Raymondskill Falls Road, which branches off from Route 209 about 3 miles south of Milford.

Nearby Falls

The equally impressive Bushkill Falls and Dingman Falls are both less than 20 miles away. New Jersey's Buttermilk Falls is about 18 miles away by car. Near Milford is the currently inaccessible Pinchot Falls. A trio of falls are in the nearby George Childs Park, but they have been off limits since the storms of 2018.
