Jacoby Falls Trail has one water crossing and caution should be used, especially during times of flowing water.
MONTOURSVILLE — The relatively short 1.6-mile hike to Jacoby Falls from the Cotner Trailhead in Lycoming County is a favorite among many — and for many reasons. It’s not too long, not too steep and not too difficult.
For me, it’s because it’s incredibly satisfying, and accessible year-round. Whether it’s a quick out and back after work and before sundown during warmer months, or a more laborious trek in the snow and ice on a sub-freezing winter day, Jacoby Falls offers hikers a chance to see the splendor of Mother Nature in each and every hiking season.
