Directions:

Go west on I-80 to exit 1, the last exit before the toll bridge at the Delaware Water Gap, and bear right to get on River Road that becomes Old Mine Road.  Drive 5.1 miles from the interstate and pull over past the bridge over Big Tocks Creek.  There's just enough room for one car to pull off.

Hike Description:

The waterfall tumbles down right at the bridge.  It can be tricky to get a picture because it so close to the road.

Just below the waterfall, the creek flows into Delaware River at Tocks Island, the site of a controversial dam project that never came to be.
