Spring rain engorges Darbytown Falls

Posted

NARROWSBURG, NY — A healthy dose of spring rain pumped life into the Darbytown Falls, which are located on the Pennsylvania side of the Upper Delaware River across from Narrowsburg, and cascade down 200 feet of rocks into the river.

Normally hidden by leaves, and often unnoticed because the falls shrink to a trickle in dry weather, and also because they are located on private property, the falls usually go unnoticed by passersby.

The Darbytown Falls, which are also known as the Peggy Runway Falls, are thought to be the highest in Pennsylvania. While some officials say that the highest falls in the state are the Raymondskill Falls at the Delaware Water Gap, they are only 175 feet tall, and are therefore second highest.
