The nearby town of Falls gets its name from this set of waterfalls on the aptly named Buttermilk Falls Creek. Though quiet now, the area was once a bustling industrial area and a lot of that was due to the mills that were powered by the falls. You can access the lower falls, but the trail down can be very slippery so exercise caution.

For a long time Scranton was known as the birthplace of U.S. Sentator, Vice-President, and President Joe Biden. Though the city still celebrates of one its own climbing to such lofty heights, it is probably better known today as the setting for "The Office" and the cast of characters working at the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin.
