Description
The trailhead parking lot is on Bruner Run Road. You cross over a narrow wooden bridge and a wide wooden bridge, both taking you across Jonathan Run, the creek. Toward the end of the trail, when you begin to descend toward the Great Allegheny Passage, look to your left and take the short spur trails to see the waterfall. You can even scramble all the way down to the creek and cool off! The creek and waterfalls are fullest in winter/spring, when we've had rain.
