Choke Creek Falls is a roughly 20-foot waterfall spread over two drops on Choke Creek in Pinchot State Forest, also popular as a summer swimming hole. A nearly flat 1.4-mile round-trip trail reaches the falls.
Its 20 ft drop is taller than about 12% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
The falls are fed by Choke Creek. It lies in Lackawanna, Pennsylvania. The site is on public land managed by PA DCNR (Pinchot State Forest).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.4 miles round trip. The nearest town is Thornhurst.
When to go: Spring and summer. Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
