Tumbling Waters Trail

This 3-mile orange blazed trail begins along with the Fossil trail, across from PEEC's two group lodges, 30 yards up the campus road from PEEC's dining hall. At the end of the first mile, hikers are rewarded with a beautiful overlook at Hermits Hill of the Delaware Valley and Kittatiny Mountains in New Jersey. At 1.5 miles, take a series of switchbacks down to the waterfalls. You must climb back up the switchbacks before continuing on the main trail, which quickly ascends Killer Hill. You will pass through 3 forest types; a hemlock forest, a mixed oak forest, and a pine plantation before arriving on the shore of Pickerel Pond.

Pickerel Pond is approximately 10-minutes from the trails end, which brings you to the parking lot in front of the main building. Give yourself at least two hours to hike this scenic trail.
