Ganoga Falls, Ricketts Glen State Park, Pennsylvania

Ganoga Falls is the tallest waterfall in the Ricketts Glen State Park in northeastern Pennsylvania, and is also the most awesome falls there. It typifies the "wedding cake" type of waterfall, wherein the water is forced to bounce down a series of rock strata rather than plunging headlong off a sheer precipice. Examples of both types of waterfall abound in this park.

Ganoga Falls is accessible via a fairly easy hike in the park. It seems as if a lot of people hike to it using the shortest route, then turn around and go back up the way they came rather than making the much more strenuous loop down the length of Ganoga Glen (the "left" or west branch of Kitchen Creek) and up Glen Leigh, the east branch of the creek. Too bad...for them! They don't know what they're missing. This place is superb.
