Nay Aug Falls is a 12-foot waterfall on Roaring Brook in Nay Aug Park, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, by the current lidar-based measurement.
The falls
The fall carries an unconfirmed status. Older sources put the height at about 20 feet, but lidar data now shows a drop of about 12 feet. The fall was once known as a horsetail; it is now categorized as a plunge. The name is unofficial: "Nay Aug" is a local Indigenous word for Roaring Brook, the stream the fall is on.
Getting there
Nay Aug Falls sits in the City of Scranton's Nay Aug Park, home to a rock-strewn gorge and waterfalls designated a National Natural Landmark. A pedestrian footbridge across Roaring Brook, opened in 2007, and walking trails give access to the gorge area. Exact parking, trail distance, fees, and hours for the falls are separate from the park's general information.
On site
The David Wenzel Treehouse, which opened May 25, 2007, overlooks the gorge from 150 feet above; walking trails and the Roaring Brook footbridge are the other ways to experience the gorge area. Swimming rules, dog policy, base access, water source, flow pattern, and any incident history specific to the falls are not documented.
