Rattlesnake Falls – Springbrook Township Pa.
Been awhile since I’ve posted anything here.
On Saturday July 11 I found myself in the Scranton Pa area. And figured I would to a quick stop off to visit Rattlesnake
Falls.The approximately fifteen high waterfall is located on the Rattlesnake Creek nearby the Nesbitt Reservoir.
The falls can be accessed via a gated woods road along PA route 502, and just south of the reservoir. A short half mile walk
along the rocky wood’s road brings one to the top of the main falls, and a very nice cascade just above it. Parking for accessing
the falls can be tricky.
Note the area adjacent to the Nessbitt Reservoir is posted as it’s a public drinking water source.
Also the only way to view the waterfall head on as in my pictures is to ford the creek, and stand in the knee deep water of
Rattlesnake creek to take the photos
A few pictures:
