Hector Falls — Attraction in Sheffield Township

This place is beautiful. Actually read about it in a BBC article. Had to search it out. You'll love it! Directions below:

From Warren, Take Rt. 6 to Ludlow, PA. In Ludlow, take a right onto South Hillside Ave. Then turn left onto Water St. and right onto Scenic Dr. Across the Railroad tracks follow FR (Forest Rd) 133 for 1 mile and turn right at FR258. 2 miles later you will reach FR258H on your left. Park here. Don't block the gate. Go around gate and follow dirt road for 1/2 mile. You will see a large clearing on your right and shortly after you will come to a Y in the road. Go to the left. Follow the road to the bottom of the hill until you reach a large circular clearing with a blue gas pipe in the center. At roughly 2 o'clock on the circle there will be a small undefined path in the woods. Follow the creek and the sound of the waterfall for roughly 100 yards to the top of the waterfall. Go to the right to reach the bottom of the falls....

Large stones ahead where the creek turns to falls, as it makes it way to the river at the bottom of the hill.

Follow the stream from the falls to the river below and see where the beaver took out plenty of trees for its home somewhere...

Forrest service road to access locations is a bit rough, as it should be, so consider a vehicle that matches that purpose. Trail down to the falls is an easy walk, from the left hand fork down to the fall, a bit steeper with lots of roots and boggy spots which could trip up careless feet. The trail shows the effects of being hugged to death. Lots of feet have passed this way and it shows in all the exposed tree roots. The falls themselves are worth the time spent in getting there about 30 minutes from the trailhead. Amazing the small stream you hike along feeds such a nice falls. We went after unexpected rainy summer and the falls ran well, I imagine this place thunders during the...
