Resica Falls Scout Reservation, Scout reservation with waterfall in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania
Resica Falls Scout Reservation is a protected area along Big Bushkill Creek in Pennsylvania featuring woodlands, camping grounds, and recreation facilities. The property spans several hundred acres with distinct zones designed for different outdoor activities and programs.
The site was founded in 1957 following its joint purchase by Philadelphia and Valley Forge Councils in 1955. The original property included three main sections developed to serve scouting programs.
The site operates as a learning center where scouts develop skills in the outdoors and build environmental awareness through organized activities. Visitors regularly encounter young people participating in group programs and learning experiences throughout the property.
The property offers fishing spots, cabin rentals during certain seasons, and summer camp programs available to different visitor groups. Contacting the facility in advance helps confirm what activities are open and how to participate in any programs.
A 45-foot waterfall serves as the central natural feature and creates a striking focal point on the grounds. Many visitors overlook the smaller hiking trails and natural areas surrounding this main attraction.
