Wangum Falls

Wangum Falls is located in Paupack Township near Hawley, Pennsylvania and is a striking yet somewhat hard to find waterfall that cascades along Middle Creek, under a one lane bridge. Wangum Falls is beautiful and impressive, but accessibility is limited due to the private land surrounding it. People enjoy the view of Wangum Falls either from the bridge or a roadside pull-off spot. As a result, this is more of a quick stop for photography and sightseeing than a destination hike.

• Viewpoint - The best view of Wangum Falls is from the bridge crossing Middle Creek.
