The nearby town of Falls gets its name from this set of waterfalls on the aptly named Buttermilk Falls Creek. Though quiet now, the area was once a bustling industrial area and a lot of that was due to the mills that were powered by the falls. You can access the lower falls, but the trail down can be very slippery so exercise caution.

Campbell's Ledge towers nearly 700 feet over the Susquehanna River, and gives you an incredible 30-mile view across the valley. The access trails to this location are privately held and may be closed at the owners discretion. Also, the ledge is extremely exposed and any fall here will be your last, so exercise caution near the edge.
