Resica Falls is a falls of about 25 to 30 feet with three separate streams of water on Bushkill Creek, on the property of the Resica Falls Scout Reservation. Uncovering PA says visitors are allowed to visit the falls thanks to a joint project of the state and Monroe County, but the rest of the camp is closed to the public. Park in the small lot on the right at the camp entrance, across Arnold Drive from the entrance building, and do not drive into the camp. Follow the path along the creek about 100 feet to the roped viewing area. Stay inside the roped area.
