About Ricketts Glen State Park
Ricketts Glen State Park is the place for a wedding if you want wild water and old forest in your wedding photos. The park spreads over 13,193 acres in Luzerne, Sullivan and Columbia counties, with its office on Route 487 near Benton, and it holds the Glens Natural Area, a National Natural Landmark with 22 named waterfalls. For a photographer and a wedding videographer, falling water and big trees make a setting that changes with every season.
Pennsylvania state parks typically permit wedding ceremonies, but every wedding needs pre-approval from the park office, so plan your wedding day around a small ceremony and pictures of the two of you. Ask the park office which spots, such as the Lake Jean area, it will approve for your group. If you hire a commercial photographer or caterer, the state asks you to discuss those details with the park office too. Running water is lovely on video but loud, so talk with your videographer about microphones for the vows.
There's no reception hall to book here, so plan your wedding reception elsewhere. The park is open every day from sunrise to sunset, and cell service is unpredictable, so download the park map and share directions with guests. The stretch of Route 487 from Red Rock up to Lake Jean is very steep. Rice, birdseed and releasing doves or butterflies aren't allowed in state parks; bubbles need written permission.
- Call the park office early for approval of your wedding ceremony and location.
- Tell the park about your photographer and any caterer.
- Walk the spot with your photographer at the time of day your wedding will start.

Check the location's own photo and video rules
Locations set their own rules about where photographers and videographers can stand, when they can take photos or film, and whether vendors need approval. We don't state those rules here.
