Bushkill Falls Loop

08/09/23

Bushkill Falls is a local tourist attraction. They do charge admission and it’s only open April- November. Also make sure to check operating hours before going. The trail starts in a developed area with boardwalks and stairs. You also see Bushkill Falls the largest of the waterfalls right away. It then continues looping around the property and passing a few other falls. The bulk of the trail is more of a traditional walking on dirt trail. While there are some roots and rocks it is nowhere near as rugged as the signs make it out to be. Not sure it’s worth the cost but the falls are prey and it’s a fairly quick and easy hike so will be assessable to hikers at a range of levels

Cheesequake Yellow and Blue Loop Trail

This is mostly just a nice walk through the woods. It is a pretty easy hike on fairly level ground. There are nice views of the lake when you loop around it.

Hike to Bake Oven Knob

This is a relatively easy albeit rocky short hike to a gorgeous viewpoint. Though sadly the ease of getting there makes it quite a spray paint target

Sunfish Pond via Red Dot, Tammany Fire Road, Turquoise and Dunnfield Creek Trail

07/29/22

This is my favorite way to hike Worthington. First you get the climb to the scenic vistas along Mount Tammany on the red dot trail (which be forewarned definitely is a climb). Then the fire road to torquise. This admittedly is the one boring stretch of the trail, but is very easy hiking and going this route saves you from a steep decline down from Tammany. Then you get to check out the pond. A bit rocky but pretty views. Finally a nice stream side hike (with a few stream crossings) along the Dunfield Creek trail. This certainly isn’t an easy hike but gorgeous and varied views for most of it. One last word of warning parking lots fill up early on weekends.

Merrill Creek Reservoir Perimeter Trail

05/05/22

This is a nice hike around the reservoir. It is a mix of fairly straightforward paved trail and a sections of more traditional trail through the woods. Great location to see snow geese when they are around as well.

Marble Hill Ice Cave via Warren-Highlands Trail

05/05/22

This is a good pick if you are looking for something relatively quick and easy nearby but not anything worth a long trip for. There is a cave en route though a fair amount of litter and graffiti around it. You can also get some peekaboo river views when the trees are bare.
