Waterfalls of NJ

[qclabrat]

I'm going in search of waterfalls this year. Post up the best of NJ. Some aren't so obvious like the Paterson falls which is spectacular if anyone hasn't visited. Here's my first and local to me. Any guesses?

Buttermilk falls in DWG recreational lands
You can actually ride to them out an back or secret society's loop that not exactly legal.

One of hunterdon counties hidden gems and horrible picture of it. Need to go after heavy rains and the trail to and from is 50% mud

Go right after the rain and kayak over it instead!

Hemlock Falls at South Mountain Reservation. More impressive after a storm

Been many times, but the weekend crowds are sometimes overwhelming...

Yes, don't "hike" there on the weekends.

Plenty of waterfalls within the DWGNRA. I'd suggest the Milford PA to I80 (Gap) loop. Mostly on PA side, but if you go after a nice rain, they are everywhere. Worthington SF and up to Millbrook Glen is where you can find them on the NJ side.

Not sure if this one is trespassing, but near Stephens state park there's a stream that goes along Old Mine Hill Road. There's a spectacular little waterfall there. At least a 20 foot drop.

Not NJ but PA choke creek falls in the thornhurst tract of pinchot SF

Sorry 1st pic isn't choke creek but falls above Francis Walter dam

Nice small one right off white trail (4 Birds) at Wildcat. Better after rain.

Also not in NJ but not far in PA is a cool hiking trail called Shades of Death. This is one of the many waterfalls along the way. Wear sturdy boots as the trail has tons of rooty and rocky sections. Including this cool rock cut

I heard about this trail and have really wanted to get out to it. I hear it is one of the better hikes in the area.

And ricketts glen state park in PA. You’ll probably be tired of waterfalls by the time you are done hiking.
