The landscape of Cleveland is slowly coming back to life this spring, and the effect the environment has on locals is undeniably magical. While we’re normally a pleasant bunch, the sunshine and vibrant blooms have us in a particularly wondrous mood. If you’re looking to take advantage of the sunshine and warm weather, look no further than our own National Park. Tucked away in Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a massive waterfall that’s so worth the visit — that is, if you’re up for a different kind of hike.
Hidden deep in the forest of Cuyahoga Valley National Park is an impressive staircase that leads to a destination unlike any other.

Located near the intersection of 271 and Brandywine Road at 8176 Brandywine Road, Sagamore Hills Township is an impressive 65-foot tall waterfall that cascades over a thinly chunked shale, a remnant from Ohio’s days as an ancient ocean.

To reach the waterfall’s gorge, you’ll traverse the 1.5-mile Brandywine Gorge Trail, as well as a staircase and boardwalk.

Spring is a particularly magical season to pay a visit to the falls, as vernal pools tend to gather in the surrounding forest.

And the ginormous waterfall, fueled by melted snow and early spring showers, will leave you speechless.
