The hike to Tamarack Falls is a somewhat easy off-trail 1.3-mile out-and-back hike to a beautiful waterfall not far from Sones Pond in Loyalsock State Forest near Forksville, Pennsylvania.
Parking:
There is a small pull off on Loyalsock Road at 41.47208, -76.52829, however there are other pull offs nearby if needed, like where the road crosses Tamarack Run at 41.476352, -76.532257. NOTE: Loyalsock Road is a forest road and although the hike could be done year round, the road may become impassable in the winter months.
Hike:
This is an off-trail hike, but follows an old logging grade. From where you park, follow Loyalsock Road and leave the road at 41.47289, -76.52830 where hikers will find a noticeable old grade. Follow this grade about 0.6-miles to Tamarack Falls. Enjoy the waterfall and then retrace your steps back out.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time ๐ฆ, money ๐ฐ, and effort (including espresso shots โ) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) ๐๐. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free ๐
