There are 24 named waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park along Kitchen Creek as it flows in three steep, narrow valleys, or glens, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. They range in height from 9 feet (2.7 m) to the 94-foot (29 m) Ganoga Falls (see video). The park is named for R. Bruce Ricketts, a colonel in the American Civil War who owned over 80,000 acres (32,000 ha) in the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and spared the old growth forests in the glens from clearcutting. The park, which opened in 1944, is administered by the state's Bureau of State Parks. Nearly all of the waterfalls are visible from the Falls Trail built by Ricketts, which the state park rebuilt in the 1940s and late 1990s. The trail has been called "the most magnificent hike in the state" and one of "the top hikes in the East". The waterfalls are on the section of Kitchen Creek that flows down the Allegheny Front, a steep escarpment between the Allegheny Plateau to the north and the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians to the south. The waterfalls are the result of increased flow in Kitchen Creek from glaciers enlarging its drainage basin during the last Ice Age.
