The George W. Childs Recreation Site is a former state park that is the site of a number of cascade waterfalls along Dingmans Creek. It is located in Dingmans Ferry in Delaware Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania. The site is named for George Childs, whose widow deeded the land to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1912. The site contains three main waterfalls: Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls and Deer Leap Falls and is a few miles upstream from Dingmans Falls and Silverthread Falls. The site is also host to the ruins of Joseph Brooks' 19th century woolen mill.
