Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

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
