Excelent trail, some challenging areas but not overdificult. Been hiking here with my 4 legged partner, Sheena a female g shep for over 11yrs. She is gone now but not forgotten. Many great views along the trail and access to the lake. Great fun for all.
Nice 3.5 min walk. Good variety of terrain, nice views of wild creek & pohopoco. Not a good trail for some because of steep inclines.
The trailhead parking is ample but is sort of secluded if your headed away from Beltzville State Park. Trails very well blazed and paths are graded as well and very wide. There are a number of ways to the falls as well as a number of different viewing platforms. There a sign that states no swimming, wading or fishing. Wild Creek fall is not very big, about 10-12’ drop but the rock structure, small whirlpool and sequential smaller drop falls as you walk up towards it make for a beautiful scene. I’m most certain in the fall when leaves are changing this is a spectacular falls. I highly recommend if your in Jim Thorpe area to check this out.
