“Hidden Falls”

May 18th, 2024

There are definitely times of the year when Upper Bear Hollow Falls are flowing enough to be impressive, but early April is not one of them. …view older images with the thumbnails below…

At Turkey Run, Bear Hollow is the intersection of 2 different canyons or valleys. The one valley always has flowing water, but nearly every canyon or valley has been formed by flowing water, and if you look closerly enough, there is water flowing down the tiny canyon at the top of the photo…so that obviously counts as a waterfall.

Until this point in the trail, you can keep your feet dry, but after this point, while it is possible to not get your feet soaked, it’s almost required to walk part of the way in the stream. But it’s all worth it, because this path leads to the Punch Bowl and to the “One Hundred Inch Falls” (my name for the location on Trail #4).

When I visited Turkey Run State Park the first time, back in 2022, I ran out of time and walked right past Bear Hollow without capturing any photos.  However, the first photo that I saw from Turkey Run was from Bear Hollow with its iconic ladders – so adding Turkey Run and Bear Hollow to my return trip was an easy decision.
