Spring time is a great time to chase waterfalls. Fortunately, the Buckeye State is home to plenty of gorgeous, little-known waterfalls that aren’t too hard to find. Hayden Falls Park in Dublin features a truly unique natural ecosystem, rare plants and animals and a 35-foot waterfall along the western shore of the Scioto River. It’s the perfect place to visit when you want to get away in nature without having to hike very far.
