Ricketts Glen State Park

In Aug. of 2015 we spent a week at nearby Worlds End State park in NE. PA. We did a day trip over to Ricketts Glen State Park which is about an hour East of Williamsport PA. to check out the campground for future trips and to hike the 3.5 mile trails that descended 23 waterfalls. The parks biggest draw are the waterfalls. The 3.5 mile trail goes down one narrow valley, crosses over into another valley you go back up. The hiking map you get shows each waterfalls name, history how it got it's name and height ex:( Ganoga 94' or Ozone 60') The trail is rather narrow, with some steep sections and steps at some points. If you have small children or your not in very good shape, I would stick to the valley of falls to the east. Those are not "as" steep. There are two parking lots that service hiking trails. It is rumored on the weekends they fill up fast. So plan your day. The campground has 120 non-electric sites, divided up into two loops. There is a average aged shower building in each loop. The sites run the scale of small tent sites to very large RV sites, maybe large enough for 40' rigs. It is rumored at some point in the next 50 years they (PA.State Parks) may put some electric in. *note In the summer of 2015 they had drained the lake to fix the dam, not sure if it will be finished for 2016 season.
