The Rachel Carson Falls is a small but beautiful waterfall within a ravine. This is part of the Rachel Carson Run which runs into the Allegheny River.

There is a delightful little bridge here which crosses the ravine. This would be a great place for a rest to take in the surrounding scenery.

Hiking

When waking down to the water fall take the short trail next to the bridge on the side of the creek closest to the large playground.
