B Reynolds Falls is a 22-foot waterfall on Glen Leigh, a branch of Kitchen Creek, in Ricketts Glen State Park, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
The falls
An in-person survey measured in 2018 found a single 22-foot drop over a bedrock bench, with no explanatory adjacent cascades – well short of the two-drop, 40-foot figure that Wikipedia gives. The falls sit between Wyandot Falls and R. B. Ricketts Falls along the same cascade sequence in Glen Leigh.
Getting there
Ricketts Glen State Park, managed by Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, is open sunrise to sunset and charges no entrance fee. From the Lake Rose Trailhead, hikers cross the Highland Trail and descend Glen Leigh to a bridge at the base of B Reynolds Falls. The park's upper loop through the Highland Trail and both glens runs 3.2 miles, or 7.2 miles for the full loop that adds the lower section; the terrain along the way is rocky, steep and slippery, rated Most Difficult.
When to go
The park closes the Falls Trail in winter to all but properly equipped hikers and ice climbers.
On site
The view is from the footbridge at the base. Slippery steps and steep terrain call for sturdy footwear and staying on marked trails.
History and name
The falls are named for banker Benjamin Reynolds (1840-1913), brother of Elizabeth Reynolds Ricketts, wife of Robert Bruce Ricketts.
