The park features the two tallest waterfalls in Pennsylvania (Raymondskill and Dingmans), and the tallest waterfall in New Jersey (Buttermilk). The difficulty of trails leading to the falls varies greatly from the wheelchair accessible Dingmans Falls Boardwalk, to steep rocky climbs through hidden hemlock ravines. Swimming and diving in and near the waterfalls is prohibited.
