Indian Ladder Falls

 

Buck Hill Falls, PA




These falls are located near the Skytop Lodge, and are said to be haunted by the spirits of Native Americans who escaped white pursuers by climbing the falls in the 1700's.

The Trout Stream Trail leads from Skytop Lodge about 1.75 miles to Indian Ladder Falls.
Many of these legends around the various waterfalls of the Poconos are just that, legends. Most waterfalls in the Poconos have one, usually about Native Americans haunting the falls. I believe that the falls were likely places that the Amerindians considered special or sacred, which may have led to these legends - or it may just be a ploy to get tourists there. In any case, they are beautiful places - worth a visit even if they aren't haunted!
