Stairway Lake — Attraction in Westfall Township

This is a moderately easy trail, great for walking / hiking. I first hiked this trail on July 4th, 2022, and it was a pretty great start to my July 4th holiday.

There is plenty of flat / easy to walk terrain throughout, but it does get pretty rocky in a lot of areas, too. I'd estimate that I completed the trail (from start and back again) in about two hours or so. However, I did spend quite a bit of time admiring the views, especially at the end. This trail is just a super peaceful journey with lots to look at along the way.

The lake is gorgeous and totally worth the trip to see! I stuck to the Stairway Lake Trail and didn't follow the Delaware River Trail signs, but I would love to see where that might take me. Maybe next time, if I happen to come back. There are tons of bugs, so don't forget your spray! lol

Please keep in mind that the following are...

This is the 3rd time we hiked Stairway Lake. 2012, 2020 and this time in 2022 we parked at area #35 and hiked out and hiked back on the Stair Lake trail.

This area is gorgeous. There are areas that are very rocky. With the dry spell the waterfall was almost completely dry.

We ate lunch at the lake. The round trip was 3.8 miles.

There are other "unique" and interesting features...

Been coming here for a decade, they just redid the trail and dock this year which is great! It's very pretty and generally an easy hike. I just wish inconsiderate people would stop kicking down the fire pit and leaving garbage, it's a nice place let's keep...
