Buck Mountain Falls at Lehigh Gorge State Park in Weatherly, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to the 7-foot tall multi-tiered waterfall, Buck Mountain Falls.
This very short walk leads from the parking lot, heading due-West, along Buck Mountain Creek to reach the multi-tiered waterfall that sits within the creek. Buck Mountain Falls total height is not much more than 7-feet and is comprised of a few small tiers of cascades; however, this scenic waterfall is worth the stop if you're visiting the Rockport Access area of Lehigh Gorge State Park. There's also a bench so visitors can relax and enjoy the water as it tumbles down the creek below your feet.
While in the area, you might want to consider checking out Luke's Falls, Buttermilk Falls, or even the Rockport Mine Tunnel as they're only a short walking distance to each.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
