That makes for lots of water falls. Several dams have been built to create recreation lakes and to calm the rush of spring snow melts. I have documented 3 of them (there are 5 total). 1 is standing but doesn't retain water, one is intact and the other ruined. There are 2 others I know of, 1 is very much intact and makes Lake Jean. The other I am unsure of and will document next trip.  Basic Information Type: Outdoors Status: Active Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: worth the trip  Physical Information Address Red Rock, Pennsylvania United States Owner: PA State Parks See a map of this location  Hazards water  Interesting Features The park is worth visiting for the nature too.
