To experience the wild side of the Pocono Mountains, go for a summer walk

through the lush woods and meadows anywhere in the region! A diverse range of

wildlife abounds in the Poconos’ largely untouched tracts of pristine acreage, giving people the opportunity to enjoy

natural surroundings that they otherwise would not have access to. A leisurely stroll through the woodlands will

reward hikers with scenes of natural beauty that are as they have been for thousands of years.

Delicate wildfl owers and other fl ora fl ourish in the summer sun

for hikers and walkers to enjoy. Among the plant life of the region is

a very rare species called rhodora that, within the United States, is

only found here in the Pocono Mountains and in the wilds of New

Hampshire. This smallest member of the wild azalea family grows

locally in damp areas such as along ponds, in wetlands, and in pine

barrens. The plants grow to a height of about three feet and can be

distinguished by their pale green leaves. People come from hundreds

of miles to search for these rare shrubs, which bloom a beautiful

purplish-pink fl ower in mid-May. This plant is restricted to glaciated

areas such as the top of the Pocono Plateau.

Another interesting resident of the Poconos is the pitcher plant. This

carnivorous plant can be found in wet areas including bogs and the sluggish edges

around ponds. Identify these plants by the large tubular pitcher and its sizeable

fl ower about two feet off the ground. This plant attracts the insects that are its prey

by secreting an odor that bugs fi nd irresistible. The unlucky insects move in closer

to investigate and slip down the tube into the plant’s digestive tract. Patches of this

sly carnivorous plant can be found in Tobyhanna State Park, in Long Pond and in

the Tannersville Bog.

Numerous species of animals are active this time of year and just like people,

they are out enjoying the sunshine in the Pocono Mountains! It’s lots of fun to fi nd

and identify animal tracks, and if you have the time, to follow them and observe a

day in the life of a deer or rabbit. Although it’s easier to follow animal tracks in the

snow, it is possible to fi nd signs in the warmer months. Look in the soft mud around

the many streams and lakes in the area for the tracks of an otter or raccoon.

In stands of hardwood, spot patches

of tussled leaves where a grouse

may have scratched while foraging

for berries, or a fox had disturbed

while in pursuit of a wily cottontail.

Deer paths and other animal trails

are prime areas to investigate while

in search of animal prints. Those

who take the time to slow down

and look can piece together many

little woodland dramas by reading

the abundant sign anywhere in this

mountain land.

Bring a pair of binoculars on

your walk to get a closer look at

the many birds singing their songs

and fl uttering about. A great variety

of bird species many be observed,

from noisy downy woodpeckers to

brilliant red cardinals and the shy

creatures are a joy to behold and,

as any bird watcher will testify, it is

great fun to encounter and identify

as many species as you can.

Babbling brooks and

pure, fresh streams fl ow nearly

everywhere in the Poconos. They

cross our landscape, connecting

various ponds, lakes and wetlands.

A walk along a stream or lake will

reveal many creatures and their

homes. Crayfi sh, frogs, minnows,

turtles and event sport fi sh such as

native brook trout can be observed

in and around the ample water

supply of the area. These sources

of fresh, clear water are what the

whole ecosystem relies on to

There is a certain fascination with waterfalls we all

experience. How wonderful it is to stand watching the endless

rhythm of the rainbow-touched stream as it falls from the height

to a sparkling pool below? The Pocono Mountain waterfalls in the

following listing are all scenic wonders, perfect for lively picnics

with friends and family or for calm meditation and spiritual

renewal.

Many of the following waterfalls are open to the public, a

few are popular attractions charging admission, and some are

private, open only to members and guests of clubs and resorts.

Some are off the beaten path, so you may have to inquire locally

for more detailed directions — sometimes getting there is half the

fun! Whichever of these wonderful sites you choose to visit, be

sure to obtain permission to enter private property if that is the

case.

Buttermilk Falls - The waters of Marshalls Creek spill over a broad

rock precipice. Route 209 north exit off I-80, about 3 miles.

Bushkill Falls - “The Niagara of Pennsylvania,” Route 209 in

Bushkill. Eight cascading waterfalls and miles of nature trails. Also

paddleboats and miniature golf. Open daily 9:00am until dusk,

April through November; call 588-6682.

Glen Onoko Falls - Lehigh Gorge State Park in historic Jim

Thorpe, Route 903. Series of waterfalls fl ows down a steep grade

into the Lehigh River.

George W. Childs Recreation Site - in the Delaware Water Gap

National Recreation Area, Route 209 North to Dingmans Ferry,

then three miles west on blacktop road. Waters of Dingmans Creek form three waterfalls - Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls,

and Deer Leap Falls.

Indian Ladder Falls - at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, where falls fl ow over sandstone, siltstone and claystone rocks. Phone

595-7401.

Paradise Falls - on the grounds of Paradise Lutheran Association, off Route 940 in Paradise Valley (private property).

Pinchot Falls - also known locally as Saw Kill Falls, located off Route 6, on the Pinchot Estate, Grey Towers in Milford.

A 100-foot narrow gorge cut through Devonian rock.

Raymondskill Falls - in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area between Milford and Dingmans Ferry, off

Route 209. Falls drop about 175 feet. Site is historic with Indian Wars background.

Resica Falls - near Bushkill on Route 402. Creek descends over sandstones and shales on the grounds of the Boy Scout

Reservation.

Shohola Falls - on State Gamelands near Route 6, Shohola. Falls run over shale and siltstone rocks.

Swiftwater Falls - on the estate of Pocono Manor Inn on Swiftwater Creek, surrounded by a fi ne stand of rhododendron.

Members and guests only.

Tobyhanna Falls - just south of Blakeslee on Route 115 as Tobyhanna Creek drains several lakes at the top of the

Poconos. About ½ mile west of the highway.

Winona Falls - off Route 209, Shoemakersville near Bushkill. On the Saw Creek.

While enjoying these waterfalls, remember that although these places are beautiful, visitors must always exercise

caution. Water-splashed rocks and paths around streams and rivers can become very slippery, and swimming in

these areas is never recommended. Landowners are not always pleasant to meet if you happen to be exploring their

property without permission, so be considerate and please do not trespass. If you plan on enjoying some of the

mountains’ hidden treasures, use good sense and you’ll have a great time here in the beautiful Pocono Mountains!

Fall into Summer at Bushkill

By: Mitzi Miller, Contributing Writer

“Everyone should have themselves regularly overwhelmed

by nature,” wrote George Harrison, and Bushkill Falls does

just that. The Peters family fi rst opened the park to the public

in 1904 with a singular path and swinging bridge located over

the main falls. Today the park has trails leading to eight different

waterfalls. The main waterfall, cascading 100 feet, leads into a

gorge fl anked by boulders and eventually makes its way to the

Delaware River.

There are four different trails to traverse which vary in

length and diffi culty (bring comfortable shoes). The shortest trail

is a mere 15 minutes and the most diffi cult trail is approximately

two miles and includes views of all eight falls. Each trail is

uniquely lined with indigenous foliage and visited by local

wildlife, which are detailed at the wildlife exhibit at the park’s

entrance.

Bushkill also offers many off-trail activities including

mining for gems, mini golf, paddle boating and fi shing. There

are also several shops, a fudge kitchen and snack bar. They also offer a picnic area equipped with grills if you prefer

to do it yourself. The park opens at 9 a.m. and parking is free. Call 570-588-6682 or go to www.visitbushkillfalls.com

for more information. Bushkill Falls is located off of Route 209 in Bushkill, Pennsylvania.

No lines for the waterslides at Camelbeach Mountain

Waterpark? Yes, you heard it correctly! Camelbeach is now offering a

Speed Pass so you don’t have to stand in line.

The Speed Pass reservation system, new to Camelbeach this

year, is available online before your visit. Upon your arrival, you will

receive a wristband which you scan at one of the park’s kiosks along

with your slide of choice. Then you are free to wander the park as

you choose. You can cool off in the Kahuna Lagoon Wave Pool, grab

a cold drink, post photos on Twitter, or just enjoy the view.

Your wristband will indicate when your time is up, and all you

have to do is arrive at the front of the line! Don’t procrastinate,

though! Speed Pass sales are limited each day. Passes are sold with

two levels of convenience: Regular and Premium.

Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark is the largest waterpark in

Pennsylvania, with over 37 slides, rides and other attractions. Where

else are you able to catch a wave, sit on a beach, freefall Hollywood-

style 25 feet onto a giant airbag and ride through the mountains on a

coaster? Hurry! Your adventure is waiting!

Sales of the Speed Pass begin on Friday, June 14. Visit www.

camelbeach.com or call (570) 629-1661 for more information.

Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark is located on Camelback

Road in Tannersville, Pennsylvania.
