You Have to Check Out New Jersey's Most Beautiful Waterfall

When you think of waterfalls, Niagara Falls may be the first one to pop into your head.

The next may be Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or Angel Falls in Venezuela.

But don't worry you won't need your passport to see beautiful waterfalls.

Before we get to the most gorgeous waterfall in New Jersey, let's start with another breathtaking one in Pennsylvania.

It's called "The Niagara Falls of Pennsylvania." Bushkill Falls is located in the Poconos and it doesn't take too long to get there from New Jersey.

I've been on a waterfall kick lately, recently taking the 2-hour drive to Bushkill Falls to check out the 8 waterfalls in the mountains of the Poconos.

The views are incredible. You can walk the long path connected by bridges.

If you have the time and can take an extended weekend getaway, drive to New York or Canada and experience Niagra Falls.

It only took us about 7 hours to get there. We went back in November, a beautiful time of year to visit, and had such an amazing time.

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
