Brandywine Falls
The most popular sight in Cuyahoga Valley. This roughly 20-metre waterfall tumbles down layered rock walls and can be viewed from a wooden boardwalk.
Brandywine Falls is about 20 metres high. Water cascades down layers of shale and sandstone, resembling a bride's veil, and it is the most visited spot in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The walk from the car park to the viewing boardwalk takes just a few minutes. A loop trail of about 2.4 km, the Brandywine Gorge trail, lets you explore the gorge. The waterfall carries the most water after rain and in spring, and in winter it can freeze into an ice cascade. Entry is free. Parking is limited, so arrive early on weekends.
