The U.S. Postal Service celebrated the variety and beauty of American waterfalls with 12 new stamps, each featuring a photograph with the name of the waterfall and state in which it is located beneath it.
Harrison Wright Falls, located on Kitchen Creek, “drops drop over a broad ledge, producing a single curtain-type plunging fall which has formed a rather large pool at the base of the cliff” according to the World Waterfall Database. Ricketts Glen State Park, known for its 22 named waterfalls and old-growth forest along Kitchen Creek, spans 1,300 acres. Steep glens formed along the waterway, and the lower glen came to be called Ricketts Glen.
This area was declared a National Natural Landmark (The Glens Natural Area) in 1969. The PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) trail map shows the Ganoga Falls as the tallest among the 22 named falls at 94 feet, Harrison Wright Falls is shown as 27 feet tall. The giant pines, hemlocks, and oaks, some over 100 feet tall and four feet in diameter, are 300 years old. This is where northern hardwoods meet the southern hardwood tree types.
