Buskill Falls, The "Niagara of Pennsylvania"


Charles E. Peters first opened Bushkill Falls to the public in 1904, with a single path and a swinging bridge over the head of the main falls. Bushkill Falls is still owned by the Peters family.  We paid senior rate of $11.50 each.



You buy your tickets and enter actually a different place.  This building houses a souvenir shop
There are three long walkways to the falls.  Some of which were posted for experienced and fit hikers. 

Cathy is enjoying the view of the falls at the base.
Here is the route we took.  It is rated the easiest.  As you can see there is an extensive system of wooden walkways to get you to the bottom of the falls.
However, what goes down, must climb up.  I think there were 4 million steps (not actually, just seemed like it)
Super green and and a great waterfall to see.
There is a smallish but none the less interesting Native American Museum to see.
