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 Ricketts Glen State Park (PA DCNR) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ganoga Falls drops about 94 feet. That makes it the 223rd-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 67% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Falls Trail (Ganoga Glen / Falls Trail System loop) reaches it about 3.2 miles (loop) with roughly 950 feet of elevation gain, rated strenuous. The nearest town is Benton. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Ricketts Glen State Park (PA DCNR) for closures and current conditions.
Spring snowmelt (Apr-Jun). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
