Adventurous hikers may access the falls at the
bottom by parking at the intersection of US - 209 and Raymondskill Road
(SR 2009) which is about 2.5 miles south of Milford. Hiking up the
creek will reveal several smaller falls before arriving at the main falls.
WARNING: Hiking up the
creek is not recommended for people who are not experienced and not in
great physical shape.
Less adventurous hikers may access the falls from
a couple of well defined trails along Raymondskill Road. Look for
the NPS parking lots on the left hand side of the road. Note, these
trails are still steep and rugged. They should not be taken by
people who are not in moderately good shape.
WARNING: Cell phones
do not operate along the Raymondskill Creek and service is very spotty on
Raymondskill Road. Avoid getting yourself into situations where you
will need emergency help.
Finally, adventurous hikers may also access the
falls from the top where Raymondskill Road crosses the creek. The
top of the falls may be seen downstream of the road. Do not hike
upstream from there as you would soon enter private property.
