Starting at the on-site visitors center, the flat boardwalk trail to Dingmans Falls meanders through a beautiful hemlock ravine. Almost immediately after starting the trail, Silverthread Falls can be seen on the right. The cascade gracefully drops 80 feet through a narrow chute. Past Silverthread Falls, the trail winds through rhododendron shrubs and by tall hemlock trees, a short distance to the waterfall. The boardwalk ends at the base of Dingmans Falls, the second highest waterfall in Pennsylvania with a plunge of 130 feet. View the falls from the platform or trek the final tenth of a mile via staircase for a birds-eye view from the upper falls.
