Ricketts Glen
State Park
Length: 2.8 miles
Rating: Moderate
Named after the park’s highest waterfall, this trail allows one to walk
up to the side of Ganoga Falls without having to hike the Falls Trail.
Although the trail is easy to moderate hiking, use caution where it meets
Falls Trail due to the switchbacks and drop-offs. Ganoga View along with the
Old Beaver Dam Road Trail makes an excellent loop trail for hikers and
cross-country skiers.
This area is actually in Luzerne County, but since some of Ricketts
Glen State Park is in Columbia County, this area will be included here.
Directions:
The park is 30 miles north of Bloomsburg on PA 487. The section of PA 487
from the town of Red Rock to the Lake Jean area of the park is a very steep
road. Heavy trailer units should avoid this hill and enter the park by
taking PA 487 south from Dushore.
