About this place

Added by Jake McKinney

Hornbeck's Creek Waterfall (also known as Lower Indian Ladder Falls) is accessed by a short hike that opens up to a peaceful area including a beautiful waterfall and swimming hole.

Follow the Hornbeck Creek Trail for approximately 1 mile, until the trail comes to an end and opens up into the waterfall and large pool beneath it. There is a rope swing to the left of the falls for swimming.

Driving Directions: From 209, enter into the Delaware Water Gap and in between the 10 and 11 mile markers you will see a sign for Hornbecks Creek with a gravel road adjacent to it. Follow the road back until you reach the parking lot and the trail will be to the left of the lot, well marked. 

NOTE: The Hornbeck Creek Trail above the falls is currently closed.
