Few things in nature rival the sheer beauty of a waterfall. That beauty, however, becomes even more intense when the calendar's pages turn to winter and the waterfall freezes to ice. These 11 gorgeous frozen waterfalls in Pennsylvania prove that our beautiful state truly becomes a wonderland in winter.

1. Cucumber Falls

Nestled in Ohiopyle State Park, Cucumber Falls exudes stunning beauty all year around but, when frozen, the 30-foot-tall waterfall becomes a masterpiece. It's one of the prettiest waterfalls in Pennsylvania. Plan your trip to Cucumber Falls and you know you'll have a good time!
