Swatara Falls is a 25-foot waterfall on Swatara Creek in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, about 3.3 miles northeast of Tremont, closed to public access on private property.
The falls
A lidar survey puts the height at about 25 feet in a single drop; this listing separately counts two drops for the same waterfall. It lies in Pennsylvania's Ridge and Valley region, a corridor of parallel forested ridges and farmed limestone valleys where streams cut through resistant sandstone, at an elevation of about 1,241 feet.
Getting there
The land the waterfall sits on is posted private property, and public access is closed. The trail that once led to it was removed after the land changed to private ownership, and no lawful visitor route, fee, or landowner contact is documented.
When to go
There is no public visiting season while the property remains closed.
