Middle Rock Run Falls at the McIntyre Wild Area near McIntyre Township, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back trail that leads to the beautiful 7-foot tall rockslide waterfall, Middle Rock Run Falls.

This unique waterfall has carved a skinny cascade through the bedrock in the middle of Rock Run creek. The trail basically ends at the waterfall, but hikers can head downstream further than this recording to get better photos of the waterfall. There are several rock ledges nearby that boulderers also use for climbing above the pools of water along Rock Run.

Pets
Dogs area allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out.

Parking
Hikers will find a large parking lot at the coordinates provided - large enough to fit about ten vehicles.

Swimming
This is one of the most popular swimming holes along Rock Run, however, not as popular as Upper Rock Run Falls. Expect a crowd on weekends. Another, more quiet, swimming hole can be found nearby at Lower Rock Run Falls. Swim and hike at your own risk.

Some of the most beautiful blue water you'll ever see in PA (besides Stony Fork Creek)! I've seen lots of fish swimming in the deep pool below the falls here too. I like Middle better than Upper & Lower Falls. Perfect for a summer bday trip, and have also seen with peak Fall foliage, and in snow/ice during Winter.

Before you leave...

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 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
