About Twin Falls

Twin Falls is a peaceful, easy-to-reach waterfall tucked into State Game Land 013 in Pennsylvania. The site is owned by OTHS and managed as a Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) by SFW, so the setting combines a lightly developed access with a feeling of remote forest. As its name implies, Twin Falls features two parallel cascades tumbling through a wooded gorge, making it a rewarding spot for photographers and families looking for a short nature outing. The approach is short but scenic: the trail drops into a leafy hollow and opens onto a clear view of the cascades. Because the falls are on State Game Land 013, visitors should follow SRMA guidelines and respect seasonal regulations. The area’s quiet, wooded character makes it ideal for a peaceful afternoon visit or a brief side-trip on a longer day of exploring the region.

The Setting

Twin Falls sits at 1,381 feet within State Game Land 013, fed by the Fishing Creek, in the foothills of Pennsylvania.

Weather Forecast

The Terrain, Seen by LiDAR

Aircraft-mounted lasers measured this ground to within inches. Trees and buildings are digitally stripped away, leaving the bare shape of the land the water has carved.

1-meter lidar measures about 94 feet of descent through Twin Falls, a steep tiered drop rather than a single free fall. The brink sits at about 1,383 feet above sea level.

Steep ground runs through the entire stretch: about 220 feet of descent in the 500 feet above the pin and 143 feet in the 500 feet below it. Facing southwest, the falls glow in afternoon and evening light.
