BRANDYWINE FALLS - Cuyahoga Valley Ohio

 Brandywine Falls is a National Park located in Cuyahoga Valley, Ohio. Brandywine Creek carved a 65-foot fall that cascades over layers of rock made of shales formed from mud on the sea floor that covered the area 350-400 million years ago into a gorge.

The moss, eastern Hemlocks, and Maple trees grow abundantly among the moistness of the gorge.






Accessibility: An ADA boardwalk leads to an observation deck at the top of the falls. Steps also lead to the bottom observation deck to be face-to-face with the powerful falls.

Handicapped restrooms are located directly off the parking lot.

Handicap parking signs designated for those with handicap placards are next to the restrooms and at the head of several walking trails and biking trails.

The biking trails are paved and worth the walk through scenic woods. Maps of the trails are available at a kiosk near the restrooms.

Type: Cascade - water descends a series of rock steps.

Address: 8176 Brandywine Road in Sagamore Hills Township
