The best waterfalls in Ohio
Brandywine Falls, Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Carved by Brandywine Creek, the 60-foot Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga Valley National Park show classic geological features of waterfalls, according to the National Park Service. The falls are partially accessible by boardwalk and steps, which take visitors into the waterfall’s gorge.
There’s also a 1.5-mile trail, the Brandywine Gorge Loop, which follows the edge of the gorge and eventually leads hikers down to creek level.

Natural Ohio Adventures calls Hayden Run Falls “easily Central Ohio’s best-known waterfall.” It’s a “hidden gem in the Dublin area,” according to Visit Dublin Ohio. The 30-foot falls are accessible from a wooden path surrounded by trees that leads to an observation platform.
