The Waterfalls of Glen Onoko

Starting a journey into the glen, one is greeted by a cleft known as
"Pulpit Rocks" which stand 20 feet high and serve as stately
ushers to the Glen It is also referred to as Sentinel Rock.

Chameleon Falls, creating a drop of 50 feet, pooled into a basin lined
with moss covered rocks and partially hidden by frolicking flora and
variegated foliage, representing a floral paradise.
Also known as the "Veil of Wenonah", others describe these
falls as one of the most pleasing features in the Glen. Mountain laurel,
the state flower of Pennsylvania, thrive in this haven naturally supplied
with an everlasting high humidity and shaded from the hot afternoon
sun.
