Brandywine Falls

 
Brandywine Falls is in Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland.  The falls are on Brandywine Road and is seen on the park maps on line or at the park.

There is a parking lot here and short walk to a boardwalk viewing area.  You can walk the road and go across to the other side for a different view.

Both views are off to the side.  I didn't see an easy way to go into the gorge and get a more head on photo.  I was pregnant at the time so I may not have looked that hard.

The falls are very big.




Also in this park (but another area is Blue Hen falls and buttermilk falls).

Mineral Springs Waterfall


Mineral Springs is a small waterfall in Racoon State Park.  You enter the park and just follow the road and there will be signs on your left and a small parking lot.  You can take the trail to the left to follow the water or take the trail to the right to go up higher.  Both will take you right to the falls.

These falls are seasonal.  I would visit late winter or early spring to make sure it has water.

Settlers Cabin Park Waterfall



Settlers Cabin Park is mostly known for its wave pool but it also has several hiking trails.  One of the trails will take you to a small waterfall.  It is not the biggest waterfall but it is nice none the less.

Once you go to the park you will follow the green loop trails.  Directions are here:

To get to the waterfall you have to climb down a small hill off to the side.  It can be muddy!
