Lee's Falls is on Ketchum Run in the Ketchum Run Gorge of Loyalsock State Forest. From the parking area on High Knob Road, start at the gated road on the blue- and yellow-blazed Ketchum Run Trail. At locator post 18, about 0.55 miles in, bear left and then follow an unblazed but obvious path to the right, before Ketchum Run; do not cross the stream. Continue down the same side of Ketchum Run past Right Angle Falls and Ketchum Run Falls to the Loyalsock Trail, then follow the Loyalsock Trail downstream. Where the Loyalsock Trail turns hard right uphill, Lee's Falls is on the stream just below; it is easiest to see from the side, just off the trail. Return the same way.
