Andrea Falls

Andrea Falls at Loyalsock State Forest near Hillsgrove, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back off-trail hike that leads to the 20-foot tall waterfall, Andrea Falls.

Exploring Andrea Falls

Hikers will begin their off-trail hike near the trailhead and parking coordinates provided, located along Dry Run Road. Look for the small creek that cuts down the mountainside to start the hike. Staying on the right-hand side of the creek, you'll make your way uphill, passing blowdown trees, and small saplings to reach a downstream view of the 20-foot tall Andrea Falls. If you make your way up the hill a bit further, being careful, you can traverse your way down to the creek itself to reach the base of the waterfall. At the base of Andrea Falls, you'll find a ~16-foot tall cascade that swoops down a cliff before a short 4-foot tall waterfall continues the flow along the bedrock just below. The total height of Andrea Falls is approximately 20-feet tall, but due to the swooping nature of the cascade, the waterfall is fairly quiet -- making for a scenic place to enjoy the cascading water off-trail and away from other hikers. When done exploring, the hike out is simple -- just head back to parking the way you came in.

Parking

Hikers will find a tiny parking turnout by the coordinates provided, located on the south side of Dry Run Road. The turnout is large enough to fit just a couple of vehicles as of December 2024.

Pets

Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

Warning

Steep creek banks: This off-trail hike leads up the right-hand side of the creek where you'll find some steep creek banks. Due to the tree blowdowns here, you need to get somewhat close to the creek bank to traverse over these trees, so watch your step. Remember to not fully trust steep creek banks as sometimes they've been undermined by flood waters, making them unstable.

Timber Rattlesnakes: This area is home to the Timber Rattlesnake which can be found roaming the forest between the end of April and early October each year. Be on the lookout and give any rattler you find plenty of space.
