Naval Run Falls is on Naval Run in Tiadaghton State Forest, where the orange-blazed Black Forest Trail meets the Naval Run approach. A contributor guide on The Outbound says the route starts where Naval Run Road ends. Follow the blue blazes into Naval Run, cross the run, and continue right up an old logging skid trail along the run to reach the Black Forest Trail at Naval Run Falls. Return the same way, or continue on the longer Hemlock Mountain loop. The source does not give coordinates, parking details or a distance to the falls.
