About this spot
This location near Scranton, Pennsylvania is accessible via Route 80 west to Route 380 south, followed by I81/I84 toward the Scranton Expressway exit. Once in town, turn right at the first traffic light onto Mulberry Street and continue approximately 3 miles uphill, passing a hospital on your left and then a public swimming pool and zoo. Park in the lot on your right and descend the steps to view the gorge. The waterfall produces roughly 15 feet of drop and creates a strong current that makes swimming challenging but allows for sitting beneath it. Multiple jump locations are available: a 30-foot cliff, a 60-foot option across from it, and a 90-foot formation locals call "killer," which offers approximately 4 seconds of airtime. An incline on the 40-foot cliff enables running jumps for extended flight time. A rope swing exists further back in the wooded area. Water conditions are suitable for drinking. The landing surface is firm, so wear shoes with good grip for safety.
