Lewis Falls

Grassy Hollow Road from the gate above Jamison City to the Lewis Falls sign, then a user trail to the top of the falls

PA Bucket List gives about 450 feet from the Lewis Falls sign to the top of the falls, and 2.44 miles down Grassy Hollow Road from the Lewis Falls parking area to the gate parking area. The road walk applies when the gate is closed to vehicles.

Rutted dirt road, then a short user trail to the top of the falls with high, sheer cliffs. Reaching the base needs a difficult descent or a creek walk with several wet crossings. The best view is from the far bank, which needs a stream crossing above the falls; one visitor had to wade more than knee-deep.

Where to start

Large parking area at the gate where Jamison City Road ends, past the Game Commission building. Grassy Hollow Road beyond the gate is narrow, rutted and unmaintained, with steep drop-offs; when the gate is open there is a small parking area at the Lewis Falls sign.

Timing & water

The Grassy Hollow Road gate is usually open only during spring turkey season (about May) and the fall hunting season; at other times, walk the road. The road is muddy in spring and icy in winter.

Before you go

No fee is mentioned. This is state game land: wear blaze orange during hunting seasons, and overnight camping is not allowed.
