Deep Glen Blackouts

Cellular reception is non-existent within the ravines and deep glens of Kitchen Creek. Download offline topographic maps and notify others of your itinerary before entering the Falls Trail.

Benton Gateway Services

Fuel up in Benton or Wilkes-Barre, as no stations exist within the state park boundaries. The drive up Red Rock Mountain consumes fuel faster due to the steep incline.
