Cuyahoga Valley National Park Travel Guide

"A spectacle that sends water soaring down 60 feet of shale and sandstone, this is arguably the park’s most popular attraction; take the short boardwalk trail from the parking lot and admire the spray via several viewpoints, including from the side and above." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.

Guide to Cuyahoga Valley National Park

"A dramatic 60-foot cascade that plunges over shale and sandstone and is best seen from a short boardwalk that provides multiple viewpoints, including side and above perspectives; spring runoff and recent rains make the spectacle especially powerful." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.

I went here with a very close friend and her son. We had a great time following the trails near the falls. We plan to visit again when it's warmer and we can hit other areas of the valley.

A beautiful close-up view of the falls! You don’t need to hike—just a few steps from the parking area. I actually wanted to see the fall colors, but by November 1st, most of the leaves had already fallen.

Amazing waterfall. There are a few paths that take you near the Falls, one in front and one above. Neither one is a very long walk. Highly recommend checking this out if you visit the park. Parking is very limited so probably better to go early, I got lucky and someone was leaving when I was looking for a spot.

The falls were in full force today after the recent rains. Brandywine Falls are a hilight to visiting the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The falls gets crowded on weekends but there were not that many people on a Friday afternoon. It is a short hike to the falls. If you go to the lower viewing platform, you need to navigate two sets of stairs, about 32 steps each. Great views from both the top and lower platform.

Beautiful water fall.very pretty.cool walking/hiking trails,but wear very comfortable ahoes,bring a walking stick,plenty of water and a sweat rag.Uneven walking paths.Could be a trip and fall hazard.lots of tree roots coming up from the ground,lots of rocks,steps,stairs.NOT RECOMMENDED for people with hip,leg,knee,ankle,foot and back problems! LOTS of walking.Wearing a hat with a visor or ball cap is recommended! If you love nature and being in the woods,this is the place for you,its beautiful! There are picnic tables to sit and have lunch,shady areas and clean bathrooms.PARKING is pretty rough during peak hours,like on Holidays and weekends.Plenty to see! Dogs are more than welcome but must be on a leash.So,have a good time and enjoy yourself.It will be fun and IS worth the trip!

Friendly people working here. Clean bathrooms. Easy hiking for kids and an incredible view of the waterfall. If you know how to appreciate nature, you’ll enjoy the trees and the sky contrasting with all the green. Nature is peace.

This was a quick and easy walk along a well maintained boardwalk. There were 4-5 nice places to stop and get good views of the falls. Ranging from the lower stairs to see full height to a few side views to a bridge to see it from above. There is a nice view of a peaceful waterfall. We visited on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy but not crowded.
