Hiker Dies After Falling At Bucks County State Park

A man died Sunday after falling as much as 100 feet while hiking at High Rocks in Ralph Stover State Park.

The man, who has not yet been identified, was in his 20s, according to the Intelligencer.

The publication reports the man’s friends called 911 around 9:30 a.m. after he fell as much as 100 feet. He was reportedly deceased when rescue crews located him.

High Rocks, located at the 45-acre Ralph Stover State Park in Pipersville, is a popular spot for rock climbers.

It features a 200-foot sheer rock face that overlooks the Tohickon Creek and the surrounding forest. “The cliffs are sheer and dangerous,” the park’s website warns.
