DIRECTIONS TO JENSEN'S LEDGES

One of our most popular hiking destinations over the past several years has been the Jensen’s Ledges area just off the Upper Delaware River. This great hike is less than an hour from downtown Honesdale and offers some of the best views of the Upper Delaware anywhere. 

After a short hike up the mountain (about 2 miles) you will be rewarded with an amazing waterfall, outcroppings that raise you hundreds of feet above the river basin, and plenty of opportunities for picnics. 

Take your time on the way up and check out the local flora and fauna. As you approach the top of the mountain turn right before crossing the stream. Turn right and take in the amazing 400’ waterfall spilling into the Delaware. This is truly on of our areas best kept secrets. 

Hop back onto the trail and cross the stream. About 300 yards down the path turn right and walk out onto the ledges.  Take a look around - you are on a rock outcropping jutting out over the river hundreds of feet in the air. Look down at the river and watch the paddlers go by in miniature! If it’s a good day you will also have the privilege of spotting one of the many bald eagles that call this area home. Have your lunch on the ledge or back on the trail if heights are not your thing. 

Additionally, this is one of the few (and we mean few) areas that primitive camping is allowed. Be sure to pack a sleeping bag and enjoy the night under the clear sky and bright stars.
