This would likely allow for the trail to be improved and for maps to be made of the area. Since this land abuts the state park, I would love to see the state transfer the land into Lehigh Gorge State Park. The trail being located on state game lands means that it lacks the blazes and improved trails that you often find in state parks. The beauty of Glen Onoko can’t be denied. However, all but the first few yards of the trail are outside of the park boundaries. The parking area for the falls is located along the Lehigh River in Lehigh Gorge State Park. Glen Onoko is located in State Game Lands 141 just outside of Jim Thrope, PA. I will leave this post up in hopes that this wrong decision is soon changed, but in the meantime, please obey the posted rules and do not visit the lower two falls. It is still possible to reach Cave Falls at the top of the glen via alternate trails. Note: As of May 2021, Glen Onoko is still closed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. (And check out the video above to see just what the trail is really like)
After all, it’s one of the few trails in Pennsylvania with a sign warning of the trail’s dangers (the trail actually has two signs, along with a third telling you to turn back if you don’t have the proper footwear).Īfter a few visits to the area, I wanted to tell you both about the amazing beauty of this trail, and to give you a realistic expectation of what the trail is really like. I had no idea what to expect from this trail. To be honest, the first time I hiked Glen Onoko, I was a bit nervous. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most popular waterfalls hikes in Pennsylvania. It seems at least once a year, someone tragically dies in this area and even more have to be rescued. There are many beautiful waterfalls in the Poconos, but few have the same reputation as the three waterfalls in Glen Onoko near the small community of Jim Thorpe.
