Does Ohio have any waterfalls?
Ohio has a surprising number of waterfalls, although the state is known for having smaller and more scenic waterfalls, nestled in stunning settings, rather than towering cascades. Since many of Ohio's waterfalls (frozen or otherwise) are seasonal, an exact count can be difficult determine. However, Ohio's state parks and nature preserves, particularly in regions like Hocking Hills and Cuyahoga Valley National Park, showcase some of the most prominent and iconic falls in the state.
Hocking Hills, located in Southeastern Ohio, is known for its series of smaller waterfalls, including Ash Cave Falls, Cedar Falls, and Old Man's Cave.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Northeast Ohio boasts a few charming waterfalls like Brandywine Falls and Blue Hen Falls. While these falls might not rival the size of some found in other states, they offer serene and picturesque landscapes that are definitely worth exploring for nature lovers and hikers.
