Bork Falls Details
Escape the heat (and the crowds) with a visit to this beautiful waterfall in the Ferne Cliff State Park. After a short 1/2 mile hike through the woods and across a small stream, you will come across this beautiful body of water with its milky blue pool and cascading stream flowing down the rocks. Unlike other seasonal waterfalls in the area, this one generally flows throughout the year, although we do not recommend swimming in the icy cold water during winter.
