Adams Falls
A narrow chute waterfall of about 36 feet on Kitchen Creek near the southern Ricketts Glen entrance, only a few steps from the parking area. Despite being the most accessible falls in the park, it is not one of the 21 named falls along the main Falls Trail.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Pennsylvania DCNR (Ricketts Glen State Park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Adams Falls drops about 36 feet. That makes it the 502nd-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 26% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Evergreen Trail / roadside spur reaches it about 0.4 miles (out-and-back), rated easy. The nearest town is Benton. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Pennsylvania DCNR (Ricketts Glen State Park) for closures and current conditions.
Year-round. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
