In April of 2010 we headed up to the Poconos in Pennsylvania for a long weekend. We stayed near Hickory Run State Park, primarily to see its famous boulder field. However, the highlight of the trip was our hike of the Hawk Falls trail. We arrived too early in the year to see the rhododendrons in bloom, but at the end of the trail we were treated to this gorgeous 25-foot waterfall, seemingly hidden away from humanity, as if it was our own private discovery. We stayed there for a good while just enjoying the serenity, nary another soul in sight.
So it’s not really a secret waterfall, but it felt that way.
