Ricketts Glen State Park, State park and natural landmark in northeastern Pennsylvania, US.
Ricketts Glen State Park spans 13,193 acres across three counties, featuring 22 named waterfalls within its Falls Trail System.
Colonel Robert Bruce Ricketts acquired 80,000 acres of land for timber before Pennsylvania purchased 1,200 acres in 1942 to establish the park.
The Falls Trail System attracts numerous hikers throughout the year who explore the series of waterfalls cascading through rock formations.
The park provides over 100 campsites with facilities including flush toilets, hot showers, and boat rentals at Lake Jean.
Ganoga Falls, measuring 94 feet in height, stands as the tallest of the 22 waterfalls found within the park boundaries.
