Lower Sand Spring Falls at Hickory Run State Park in Kidder Township, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to the 6-foot tall waterfall, Lower Sand Spring Falls.
To get to Lower Sand Spring Falls, hikers will start at the parking turnout located on the east side of PA-534 at the parking coordinates provided, then walk south along the side of the road. Just a few-hundred feet down the road is the 6-foot tall, 30-foot wide waterfall known as Lower Sand Spring Falls. At the waterfall, visitors will find a small path that leads downhill to reach the base of the cascade. Lower Sand Spring Falls is an old reservoir wall that once held-back the creek to form a pond. At some point, Hickory Run State Park (or maybe the previous land owner) decided to remove the water barrier and to let the water flow once again, hence this is a human-made waterfall; however, it's still beautiful nonetheless.
