Wyandot Falls
About
Wyandot Falls is a waterfall in Ricketts Glenn State Park in Pennsylvania, about 5 miles from the small community of Jamison City. It sits among a cluster of short trails inside the park, so it fits easily into a day spent exploring the surrounding paths. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show June highs around 76°F with lows near 55°F, and September highs around 72°F with lows near 50°F. That station sits roughly 470 feet lower than the falls, so temperatures here usually run a bit cooler. The closest trail is the Falls Trail, about 0.7 miles away. The Highland Trail and Mountain Springs Trail are each within about a mile. Climbers can find the Pervatious B climbing area roughly 2 miles off.
