This is a good place to take a break on a hot day, as the waterfall produces cold wind.
DO NOT DRINK this water, It is from an acid mine and the red-orange color comes from iron and rust.

The Red Waterfall is one of the main highlights on the GAP between West Newton and McKeesport. The falls gets its name from the water that has been colored red by nearby underground coal mines, which has made the water acidic and iron-rich water.
