Where the Waterfalls Are
Glen Lyon sits in or near the Ricketts Glen and the North Branch area of Pennsylvania. The glens on the southern edge of the North Mountain plateau hold Pennsylvania's greatest concentration of falls. In Ricketts Glen State Park, which straddles Luzerne and Sullivan counties, two branches of Kitchen Creek descend through old-growth hemlock forest in a long series of named falls connected by the Falls Trail, a steep, rocky route with dozens of stone steps. The Laporte area of Sullivan County adds more remote falls in state forest land. To the east, Nay Aug Falls in Scranton is an urban gorge falls with observation decks, and Wyoming and Tioga counties add scattered falls in the plateau's deep valleys.
