Upper Rock Run Falls at the McIntyre Wild Area near McIntyre Township,
Pennsylvania is a moderate 0.2-mile out-and-back trail that leads to the
beautiful 10-foot tall rockslide waterfall, Upper Rock Run Falls.
The trail begins by following a fairly steep hillside down to a fishing game commission A-frame cabin. From here, the trail becomes flat as it makes its way out to Upper Rock Run Falls, which is only about 200-feet from the cabin.
At the waterfall, hikers will find several rock ledges above Rock Run, so hiking further downstream may have opportunities for climbing or bouldering above the creek. The waterfall itself is a beautiful cascade, approximately 10-feet tall, that spills into a pool of green-ish blue water below.
Pets
Dogs area allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out.
