Explore Indian Ladder Falls at Skytop
Indian Ladder Falls at Skytop Lodge is one of the most scenic natural features in the Pocono Mountains, a peaceful, multi-tiered waterfall tucked deep within the resort’s forested grounds. Normally closed to the public, the falls are restricted to resort guests and homeowners only. So this is a great opportunity to join BWA for a guided hike with Darryl Speicher to this three-level (tiered) waterfall that flows along the Leavitt Branch stream, cutting through a shaded ravine. The setting is lush and quiet, surrounded by hemlocks, rhododendrons, and mossy rocks, giving it a secluded, almost hidden feel. Along the way, you’ll learn about the natural and cultural history of Skytop while enjoying a beautiful spring day.
After the hike, we’ll be headed to the lodge for Tea Time (which is optional). At Skytop Lodge, tea time is a daily, traditional afternoon activity that includes hot tea (and often coffee or lemonade), and light snacks.
Space is limited — don’t miss your chance to hike the falls that few get to see!
