The waterfall dries up fast - although this past year we've had so much rain that that certainly hasn't been a problem. Still, if we have a more normal summer, this will only be a trickle - you want to see this one in the spring.
Quick Tips:
- Park at - 5119 Wallis Run Rd, Trout Run, PA 17771
- Hike is approximately 3.3 miles round trip
- Moderate walk - not completely flat, rocky areas, but nothing really strenuous here.
- Waterfall Height - 29 Feet

Parking Area at
5119 Wallis Run Rd, Trout Run, PA 17771The official dncr brochure with a map can be found online here:

From the brochure:
"This public hiking trail is located near scenic Wallis Run just northeast of Williamsport. The trailhead can be found north of State Route 973 along Wallis Run Road (State Route 1003). Beginning at the Cotner Farm this trail travels moderately steep terrain for 1.6 miles before climaxing at the beautiful Jacoby Falls. Although it is an easy hike, you should still be careful, as rocks may be slippery. A round trip can be completed easily within 3 hours even if you stop periodically to enjoy the sights. "
When we were there, there were many sections of the trail where we had to avoid puddles. But in Pennsylvania in 2018, this was pretty much how every trail, and every sidewalk for that matter, looked. (It rained almost every day in the summer of 2018)
About 2/3 of the way to the falls, the trail veers off onto a roadway for the pipeline. Follow this for awhile and watch for the Jacoby trail marker off to the side to return to the trail.
