Long exposure of a waterfall in Ricketts Glen State Park, Pa.
Oneida Falls and Kitchen Creek in Ricketts Glen State Park, Pa.

THE LOCATION: Oneida Falls, Ricketts Glen State Park, Pa.


GPS: 41°19'36.4416" N 76°17'13.6588" W


THE EQUIPMENT: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV | EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM | Peak Design aluminum travel tripod | Breakthrough Filters 1.5x neutral density


THE STORY: To truly capture Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania, you'll need more than a day.


The park teems with nearly two dozen waterfalls in a single hike, and each one presents an abundance of image making possibilities.


Oneida Falls is a prime example.


The bridal veil cascade at the top can present a beautiful, balanced symmetry. But walk just a little further and you'll find where Kitchen Creek slides over countless brown rocks, creating an eye-loving leading line back to waterfall.


Go and plan accordingly. As in, give yourself lots of time because Ricketts Glen will charm you and make you wish you had more hours, more days, to be with such a natural beauty.
