Sullivan Falls

Sullivan Falls in Benton, Pennsylvania is a scenic ~50-foot tall almost-roadside waterfall in Pennsylvania State Game Lands 13. This waterfall can be viewed with just a short 0.1-mile walk following a path from the backside of the parking area and to the top of the waterfall. There is a steep narrow path that descends to the base of the waterfall for further viewing and exploring of the waterfall if you chose to do so, but explore at your own risk.

Difficulty

If you plan to hike to the top of Sullivan Falls, this is an easy mostly-flat hike. If you plan to hike to the base of the waterfall, consider it moderate.

Pets

Dogs are allowed if leashed and cleaned up after.

Parking

The parking for this hike is a large pull off along Sullivan Falls Road which is marked with a large rock labeled 'Sullivan Falls.'  This forest road is not maintained in the winter and access could be limited based on road conditions.

Warning

Steep terrain: Be mindful of the steep ledges and drop-offs near the waterfall. If hiking to the base, the terrain may be steep with loose soil.

Timber rattlesnakes: This area is home to the Timber Rattlesnake which can be found roaming the forest between the months of April and October. Be mindful and if you find any rattlers, give them plenty of space.
