To experience the wild side of the Pocono Mountains, go for a summer walk
through the lush woods and meadows anywhere in the region! A diverse range of
wildlife abounds in the Poconos’ largely untouched tracts of pristine acreage, giving people the opportunity to enjoy
natural surroundings that they otherwise would not have access to. A leisurely stroll through the woodlands will
reward hikers with scenes of natural beauty that are as they have been for thousands of years.
Delicate wildfl owers and other fl ora fl ourish in the summer sun
for hikers and walkers to enjoy. Among the plant life of the region is
a very rare species called rhodora that, within the United States, is
only found here in the Pocono Mountains and in the wilds of New
Hampshire. This smallest member of the wild azalea family grows
locally in damp areas such as along ponds, in wetlands, and in pine
barrens. The plants grow to a height of about three feet and can be
distinguished by their pale green leaves. People come from hundreds
of miles to search for these rare shrubs, which bloom a beautiful
purplish-pink fl ower in mid-May. This plant is restricted to glaciated
areas such as the top of the Pocono Plateau.
Another interesting resident of the Poconos is the pitcher plant. This
carnivorous plant can be found in wet areas including bogs and the sluggish edges
around ponds. Identify these plants by the large tubular pitcher and its sizeable
fl ower about two feet off the ground. This plant attracts the insects that are its prey
by secreting an odor that bugs fi nd irresistible. The unlucky insects move in closer
to investigate and slip down the tube into the plant’s digestive tract. Patches of this
sly carnivorous plant can be found in Tobyhanna State Park, in Long Pond and in
the Tannersville Bog.
Numerous species of animals are active this time of year and just like people,
they are out enjoying the sunshine in the Pocono Mountains! It’s lots of fun to fi nd
and identify animal tracks, and if you have the time, to follow them and observe a
day in the life of a deer or rabbit. Although it’s easier to follow animal tracks in the
snow, it is possible to fi nd signs in the warmer months. Look in the soft mud around
the many streams and lakes in the area for the tracks of an otter or raccoon.
In stands of hardwood, spot patches
of tussled leaves where a grouse
may have scratched while foraging
for berries, or a fox had disturbed
while in pursuit of a wily cottontail.
Deer paths and other animal trails
are prime areas to investigate while
in search of animal prints. Those
who take the time to slow down
and look can piece together many
little woodland dramas by reading
the abundant sign anywhere in this
mountain land.
Bring a pair of binoculars on
your walk to get a closer look at
the many birds singing their songs
and fl uttering about. A great variety
of bird species many be observed,
from noisy downy woodpeckers to
brilliant red cardinals and the shy

and elusive grebe. These wonderful
creatures are a joy to behold and,
as any bird watcher will testify, it is
great fun to encounter and identify
as many species as you can.
Babbling brooks and
pure, fresh streams fl ow nearly
everywhere in the Poconos. They
cross our landscape, connecting
various ponds, lakes and wetlands.
A walk along a stream or lake will
reveal many creatures and their
homes. Crayfi sh, frogs, minnows,
turtles and event sport fi sh such as
native brook trout can be observed
in and around the ample water
supply of the area. These sources
of fresh, clear water are what the
whole ecosystem relies on to

There is a certain fascination with waterfalls we all
experience. How wonderful it is to stand watching the endless
rhythm of the rainbow-touched stream as it falls from the height
to a sparkling pool below? The Pocono Mountain waterfalls in the
following listing are all scenic wonders, perfect for lively picnics
with friends and family or for calm meditation and spiritual
renewal.
Many of the following waterfalls are open to the public, a
few are popular attractions charging admission, and some are
private, open only to members and guests of clubs and resorts.
Some are off the beaten path, so you may have to inquire locally
for more detailed directions — sometimes getting there is half the
fun! Whichever of these wonderful sites you choose to visit, be
sure to obtain permission to enter private property if that is the
case.
Buttermilk Falls - The waters of Marshalls Creek spill over a broad
rock precipice. Route 209 north exit off I-80, about 3 miles.
Bushkill Falls - “The Niagara of Pennsylvania,” Route 209 in
Bushkill. Eight cascading waterfalls and miles of nature trails. Also
paddleboats and miniature golf. Open daily 9:00am until dusk,
April through November; call 588-6682.
Glen Onoko Falls - Lehigh Gorge State Park in historic Jim
Thorpe, Route 903. Series of waterfalls fl ows down a steep grade
into the Lehigh River.
George W. Childs Recreation Site - in the Delaware Water Gap
National Recreation Area, Route 209 North to Dingmans Ferry,
then three miles west on blacktop road. Waters of Dingmans Creek form three waterfalls - Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls,
and Deer Leap Falls.
Indian Ladder Falls - at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, where falls fl ow over sandstone, siltstone and claystone rocks. Phone
595-7401.
Paradise Falls - on the grounds of Paradise Lutheran Association, off Route 940 in Paradise Valley (private property).
Pinchot Falls - also known locally as Saw Kill Falls, located off Route 6, on the Pinchot Estate, Grey Towers in Milford.
A 100-foot narrow gorge cut through Devonian rock.
Raymondskill Falls - in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area between Milford and Dingmans Ferry, off
Route 209. Falls drop about 175 feet. Site is historic with Indian Wars background.
Resica Falls - near Bushkill on Route 402. Creek descends over sandstones and shales on the grounds of the Boy Scout
Reservation.
Shohola Falls - on State Gamelands near Route 6, Shohola. Falls run over shale and siltstone rocks.
Swiftwater Falls - on the estate of Pocono Manor Inn on Swiftwater Creek, surrounded by a fi ne stand of rhododendron.
Members and guests only.
Tobyhanna Falls - just south of Blakeslee on Route 115 as Tobyhanna Creek drains several lakes at the top of the
Poconos. About ½ mile west of the highway.
Winona Falls - off Route 209, Shoemakersville near Bushkill. On the Saw Creek.
While enjoying these waterfalls, remember that although these places are beautiful, visitors must always exercise
caution. Water-splashed rocks and paths around streams and rivers can become very slippery, and swimming in
these areas is never recommended. Landowners are not always pleasant to meet if you happen to be exploring their
property without permission, so be considerate and please do not trespass. If you plan on enjoying some of the
mountains’ hidden treasures, use good sense and you’ll have a great time here in the beautiful Pocono Mountains!

Fall into Summer at Bushkill
By: Mitzi Miller, Contributing Writer
“Everyone should have themselves regularly overwhelmed
by nature,” wrote George Harrison, and Bushkill Falls does
just that. The Peters family fi rst opened the park to the public
in 1904 with a singular path and swinging bridge located over
the main falls. Today the park has trails leading to eight different
waterfalls. The main waterfall, cascading 100 feet, leads into a
gorge fl anked by boulders and eventually makes its way to the
Delaware River.
There are four different trails to traverse which vary in
length and diffi culty (bring comfortable shoes). The shortest trail
is a mere 15 minutes and the most diffi cult trail is approximately
two miles and includes views of all eight falls. Each trail is
uniquely lined with indigenous foliage and visited by local
wildlife, which are detailed at the wildlife exhibit at the park’s
entrance.
Bushkill also offers many off-trail activities including
mining for gems, mini golf, paddle boating and fi shing. There
are also several shops, a fudge kitchen and snack bar. They also offer a picnic area equipped with grills if you prefer
to do it yourself. The park opens at 9 a.m. and parking is free. Call 570-588-6682 or go to www.visitbushkillfalls.com
for more information. Bushkill Falls is located off of Route 209 in Bushkill, Pennsylvania.

No lines for the waterslides at Camelbeach Mountain
Waterpark? Yes, you heard it correctly! Camelbeach is now offering a
Speed Pass so you don’t have to stand in line.
The Speed Pass reservation system, new to Camelbeach this
year, is available online before your visit. Upon your arrival, you will
receive a wristband which you scan at one of the park’s kiosks along
with your slide of choice. Then you are free to wander the park as
you choose. You can cool off in the Kahuna Lagoon Wave Pool, grab
a cold drink, post photos on Twitter, or just enjoy the view.
Your wristband will indicate when your time is up, and all you
have to do is arrive at the front of the line! Don’t procrastinate,
though! Speed Pass sales are limited each day. Passes are sold with
two levels of convenience: Regular and Premium.
Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark is the largest waterpark in
Pennsylvania, with over 37 slides, rides and other attractions. Where
else are you able to catch a wave, sit on a beach, freefall Hollywood-
style 25 feet onto a giant airbag and ride through the mountains on a
coaster? Hurry! Your adventure is waiting!
Sales of the Speed Pass begin on Friday, June 14. Visit www.
camelbeach.com or call (570) 629-1661 for more information.

Road in Tannersville, Pennsylvania.
