Description
Ricketts Glen State Park is a wonderful haven for hikers... and especially for die-hard waterfall lovers! This great state owned wilderness area has twenty-two "named" waterfalls. That, in itself, is an amazing statement. In addition, there are countless un-named falls throughout the glen. This is one of those smaller waterfalls along a tributary of Kitchen Creek. It was never given a name or highlighted on any park maps. There is no trail that goes right by this site and I'm sure that hundreds of trekking visitors walk right past it and never even notice that it's there. I don't care if it has an official designation or not, it's still a lovely natural landmark sight to behold!
This hidden wonder can be found just upstream from the footbridge below Mohican Falls. You will see the large fallen tree as you cross the wooden bridge, just beyond the tree you will find this very lovely waterfall, nestled among the thick foliage.
The shot was taken on August 15th, 2009 in Ricketts Glen State Park, in north east Pennsylvania, USA. Ricketts Glen is located along State Rt 118, near the village of Red Rock, about half way between Williamsport and Wilkes Barre, PA.
This photograph was captured with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens on a Canon EOS 10D DSLR body. The aperture was f/5.6, shutter speed 1/20th sec at the 17mm focal length. The camera & Lens were mounted on a Manfrotto tripod with a Manfrotto "joystick" ball head. A remote shutter release was also used.
