Moss Falls and Campsite at Tioga State Forest near Cedar Run is a 0.1-mile off-trail walk that leads to a scenic seasonal 8-foot tall waterfall that spills off a mossy rock ledge and also features a make-shift campsite.
Moss Falls, 8-feet Tall
This is not really a hike but rather a quick walk down a steep hillside to reach Mine Hole Run to get a view of Moss Falls. Moss Falls spills over a scenic mossy rock ledge with a sea of green moss-covered rocks upstream from the waterfall.
Campsite
At the waterfall, as of March 25, 2023, is a rock campfire with at least 3 stone rock seats. Backpackers and campers, following the state forest rules, could likely setup a campsite on flat ground nearby and use this fire ring to cook food.
Parking
Hikers will find no real parking lot for this walk, but rather a grassy turnout alongside the road with enough space to get your car off of the road.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leased and cleaned up after.
Camping and Backpacking
While this campsite does not sit along a trail, campers and backpackers can use this spot if they follow the state forest rules and regulations for dispersed / backcountry / primitive camping.

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!️
