138 Bushkill Falls Trail, Bushkill, PA 18324 This is a great place to hike and make a day trip. This place does get very crowded w/ bus loads of people so get here early. The trails are pretty easy but can be a little hard for small dogs, elderly people or someone with knee problems since the stairs can get somewhat steep. It is a lot of walking but nothing extreme. The waterfall and just the entire area is beautiful. (Only about 25min from the Cabin)
