Pennsylvania has two types of people — those who love the cold and snow of winter and those who hibernate in the house as much as possible, counting the days until spring. Even the hibernators will likely admit, however, that Pennsylvania transforms into a breathtaking wonderland after a fresh snowfall. Marvel at one of the most beautiful creations of nature this winter — Pennsylvania’s largest waterfall frozen from the bitter cold.
Bundle up for a winter hike that just might leave you breathless — from the cold and from the sheer natural beauty of Raymondskill Falls, in Milford, Pennsylvania’s largest waterfall.
Trip Advisor/GentleSol Raymondskill Falls is part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
At less than a mile, the Raymondskill Creek Trail leads straight to the three-tier Raymondskill Falls, which drops an impressive 150 feet.
All Trails/Patrick Mohan During the warmer months, you can stop by the Visitor Center for more information. However, all of the visitor centers in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area are closed for the season.
Hike along the trail that’s rated between easy and moderate, due to the fact that you’ll experience an elevation of 178 feet. The trail is also uneven in spots, so pay attention as you’re walking.
Trip Advisor/Lisa M. If you get tired along the way, take a breather on one of the benches on the trail.
You’ll also have to climb a set of stairs if you want to admire the frozen waterfall from the top tier.

Carve out time to snap photos of the frozen waterfall, which is only slightly shorter than Niagara Falls. (Niagara Falls boasts a drop of 167 feet.)
