Hamilton Hollow Falls on Cedar Run in Tioga State Forest near Cedar Run, Pennsylvania is a difficult 0.2-mile out-and-back off-trail bushwhack that leads to a view of the scenic Hamilton Hollow Falls from the banks of Cedar Run.

Hike Description
This is a difficult hike that follows the steep mountain slopes off of Leetonia Road and plunges down to Cedar Run creek. Once on Cedar Run, follow the creek downstream for approximately 350-feet to directly across the creek where Hamilton Hollow Creek flows into Cedar Run. Looking up Hamilton Hollow, hikers will get a view of the 10-foot free falling waterfall, Hamilton Hollow Falls, across the way. Hikers who don't mind getting their feet wet can wade through the knee-high (maybe deeper) Cedar Run to reach Hamilton Hollow for a better view; however, this hike stops on the eastern banks of Cedar Run with the view of Hamilton Hollow Falls before heading back up the steep 92-foot climb back to parking.

Parking
There's no real parking turnout here, but rather a car-width-size parking space on the grass, atop a very very steep mountain slope. There's enough room for a couple of cars to pull-off the road near a telephone pole, at the parking coordinates provided, where hikers can choose any spot to head down the very steep mountain slopes.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

Brought Sam and Dustin here to check out Hamilton Hollow Falls from up-close as I'd only viewed this waterfall from across Cedar Run earlier in the year. The moss-covered rocks and ledges were awesome to say the least. Great cascade, though the water was lower in the Summer, but made for safe creek hiking in Cedar Run.
