Water spills gracefully over layered rock ledges into a shallow stream, surrounded by dense woodland and moss-covered rocks.
Because the falls are visible directly from the roadside, visitors can enjoy this scenic cascade without any hiking required.

Fall Foliage at Dry Run Falls
One of the most popular times to visit Dry Run Falls is during the “leaf peeping” season, and the Loyalsock State Forest does not disappoint.
The water is usually low enough on Dry Run this time of year to allow you to freely cross back and forth below the falls, taking in the view from different angles.
This makes it easy to wander along the streambed and enjoy the colorful reflections of the surrounding autumn foliage from several different vantage points.
Visiting Dry Run Falls in the Winter
Winter waterfalls aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if they’re yours, Dry Run Falls offers plenty of icy beauty to admire.
