This is a beautiful place for a good hike. There are multiple waterfalls, calming creek views, and peaceful sounds (birds, leaves rustling, etc.). The trails aren't hard and are well maintained and marked. It's a great place to get away for a while.
Interesting place. Beautiful nature. Suitable for those who just like to fall in a boat and go with the flow 🌊 as well as for those who do not like a lot of adrenaline because on the way you will meet thresholds of level 1 and 2, ride on the waves. You can rent a kayak, canoe, raft for about three hours of oars - this is a 6-mile ride from Smithfield Beach - Kittatinny Point. You can choose 4 miles from Kittatinny Point to Portland, Pennsylvania and 10 miles to take you 4-6 hours. You can stop in beautiful places, fish and have a picnic while rafting 🧺
The price is about $60 per person.
Wonderful place. Was a stormy couple of days while we were visiting but with enough gaps in the rain to enjoy short hikes to great waterfalls (the up side of putting up with lots of rain). We were able to paddle a bit on the river which was awesome. Easy going current on a wide river with bald and golden eagles, kingfishers and various song birds. The water was clear despite all the rain and the rocks in the river well worn so that wading along the shore was not difficult. Looking forward to coming back!
Only negative was the lack of flush toilets at various sites due to facility damage. But porta-potties were provided and relatively clean.
There Visitors Center was closed during open hours. We did enjoy the beautiful scenery but did not do any trails.
One of the best place to visit in fall. There was small route of trekking( 10 min) to reach near lake and the fall color around the lake was awesome and scenic view. Very calm and silent place to visit and reaching this place had amazing route so whole journey till reaching this place was an amazing ride. Attaching a map of this place for your reference.
