Poconos Waterfalls at Hickory Run State Park:
The Hickory Run State Park has two lakes. The small Hickory Run Lake is along the road to Boulder field, and the larger Sand Spring Lake which allows swimming is within the Sand Spring Day Use Area.
Natural and man-made Poconos Waterfalls are found through the park:
- Saylorsville Falls is near the entrance of Camp Shehaqua at Saylorsville Dam. Downstream from the dam is a fordway through Hickory Run Creek which may be gated during times of high water.
- Hawk Falls Trail features a 25-foot natural waterfall on the east end of the park. The trail is often icy in winter.
- Shades of Death Trail offers views of Sand Spring Run with its small natural cascades and larger waterfalls at man-made dams. The trail is often icy in winter.

The Hickory Run State Park contains 44 miles (71 km) of hiking trails that offer a variety of hiking experiences and cool waterfalls. For example, the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) long “Shades of Death” Trail follows the course of Sand Spring Run through dense rhododendron bushes that bloom from mid-June through mid-July. The run is dammed at certain points, creating lakes and multiple waterfalls.
A short 0.7-mile (1.1 km) walk on the Hawk Falls trail leads to one of the most popular Poconos Waterfalls. Biking is prohibited on all trails in the Hickory Run State Park, but you can bike on all the gravel roads throughout the park. Please visit the DCNR Hickory Run State Park Page for more information.
