In order to get to the Bushkill Falls attraction, you need a few items. These include comfortable shoes (preferably hiking boots with a non-slippery sole), the map of the trail, and bottles of water. If you are in pretty good condition (not necessarily the Iron Man or Woman condition) and can walk extensively through varies terrains, such as slippery, wet ground; rock; boardwalks; bridges; etc., you will probably enjoy the hiking. You will see not only the gorgeous falls, which are centuries old, but also the other parts of the natural environment. For instance, at the headwaters of Bushkill Creek, there is a fantastic marsh that is vibrant, with wild birds present. It is not uncommon to see a variety of local and migratory bird species here. These include song birds and birds of prey, like hawks, eagles, and owls. You may even see wild turkeys, ducks, geese, white-tail deer, red and grey fox, skunk, rabbit, squirrel, chipmunks, etc., on other parts of the trail. We saw squirrels and a couple of deer while we were hiking. Also, at the bottom of the Main Falls (Bushkill Falls), you will notice a deep pool of water. This is surrounded by wild flowers, mosses, and ferns. You will also view gorges, mountain pants, trees, and enormous boulders on your trails. Lastly, nature hikers will be elated about the walk to Bridal Veil Falls. At this place, you can follow a trail by the Pond Run stream. The mountain path runs deep in the forest. Here you will view spring-fed waters trickling down the mountainside in a trio of falls. These are the ones called Bridesmaid Falls #1, Bridesmaid Falls #2, and Bride Veil Falls.
What is nice about hiking here is that you don’t have to take the avid hiker trail if you don’t feel comfortable doing so, but by doing this, you will not see all the falls either. At this attraction, the staff here will assist you in deciding what trail is right for your individual abilities or concerns. The trails here vary in both difficulty and length. For example, the green trail only take 15 minutes to travel, and the red one is 2 miles long and possesses all the seven falls. This trail takes over 2 hours to hike. But it doesn’t matter which trail you take because you will be exposed to great scenery.
