Cedar Falls is a popular attraction located in Hocking Hills, Ohio (USA). The waterfall is located on the Buckeye Trail, which goes through the Hocking Hills, but there are separate parking places near the waterfall for those who want to have a shorter walk to see the falls. I visited Cedar Falls at the end of October, and the leaves should have all changed into beautiful colours, but the weather has been strange in Ohio so the season was about two weeks behind.
There was one place to park directly above the falls, but it only had a few spaces and they were full. There is a larger parking area with a paved and stepped walkway that winded down the hill via steps with a short walk through the gorge to the waterfall.
Cedar Falls is the largest waterfall in Hocking Hills State Park, and Queer Creek cascades down it. The falls are named such because early visitors mistook the hemlock trees around the falls for Cedar trees. An early picnic area was here at the falls from the early 1800s, and a grist mill was built above them to use the water power.
I spent a few moments enjoying this beautiful waterfall in Hocking Hills, Ohio.
