Came back to conquer the traverse upstream to Lower Fall Brook Falls during the winter in the snow; however, I would not recommend anyone but experienced hikers (and dummies) to attempt this hike to the frozen waterfall. Hikers will need, at least, ice spikes and trekking poles, to navigate the very deep and unexpected holes/caveties under the snow and within the rocks and boulders as they hike upstream. There are plenty of places where, if you slip, you can fall several feet or more into freezing creek beds, which can be about 2-feet deep. Super dope spot for the winter though, if you can safely make it up the creek. Hike at your own risk.

Winter hike out to Neslon Falls. Trail is easy to hike with ice spikes. Waterfall did not have much buildup of ice but was still nice to visit. Parking is street-side since the lot is not cleared in the winter.

Attempted to reach the Lower Falls section of the waterfall, but the snow was too deep to trust hiking down and along the creek. I made it to the large boulder that sits alongside Fall Brook before heading back uphill and back to the overlook view of Fall Brook Falls. The recent snowfall was powdery and approximately 6+ inches deep, in addition to the layers of ice and snow beneath. Traversing up Fall Brook under these conditions did not seem smart.

Hiked half-way to Darling Run Falls before turning back. The ice in the creek did not appear to be strong enough to trust hiking upstream all the way to the waterfall. Along the hike upstream I found an old foundation of what I assume used to be a home or camp. This old foundation is located on the north side of Darling Run creek less than 0.1-miles from the Pine Creek Trail. Instead of attempting to reach the waterfall by hiking upstream further, I drove to Copp Hollow Rd in Wellsboro and hiked through the woods and down the narrow spine of a hill to reach a viewpoint of the waterfall.

Quick walk to the overlook in late December. Winter road is not normally maintained but seemed plowed up to this vista and further up the road.

The trail was snow-covered with ice below. Plenty of snow packed down from previous hikers. Without ice spikes, the waterfall is only accessible from the trail with the railing during this time of year.
