Buttermilk Falls Natural Area, 45-foot waterfall in West Wheatfield Township, United States.
Buttermilk Falls is a natural area spanning 48 acres of woodland with a large waterfall cascading down rocky formations in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The waterfall drops roughly 45 feet (14 meters) and dominates the landscape of this forested space.
The estate was owned by Fred McFeely, grandfather of television personality Fred Rogers, from 1930 to 1956 as a rural retreat. This time shaped Rogers' early years and left a lasting impression on his later creative work.
The remains of the McFeely family estate sit near the swimming area, marking the place that shaped Fred Rogers' childhood and influenced his later television work.
Visitors can walk along a marked trail leading to the waterfall base and get an overview from an observation deck near the parking area. The path moves through the forest and offers several benches for resting along the way.
The McFeely Trail runs through the area with benches strategically placed in the forest to encourage nature observation. These quiet rest spots create a chance to experience forest sounds and wildlife.
