Use the address as a guide which will bring you to the Weis Ecology Center. After crossing a section of the Wanaque Reservoir on Westbrook Road you will turn onto Snake Den Road. After passing a few resident homes you will come to a decent sized parking lot. This is where the hike will begin!
You’ll immediately come across a small field to your right marked by Green blazes. Continue to follow the path. That’s right, there is a pool just ahead!
The trip back is a bit more strenuous due to steeper uphill climbs. Be sure to have ample water and food left over for the leg workout climbing back up Carris Hill and Wynaokie High Points in order to complete the 7 mile hike. For now, reap the benefits and enjoy the falls!
