Cedar Falls has many dirt steps (not difficult) leading down to the waterfalls. You want to make sure and keep your child close across the bridges and there is no swimming in the waterfall.

Interesting things to look for:

One of the more popular trails is Cedar Falls. Visitors to the trail have said it is like stepping into an enchanted forest. Huge hemlocks, well-worn paths and rugged cliffs line much of the trail.

At one time, a grist mill was located at the top of the falls where a newly constructed bridge now stands. If you look closely at the stream from the bridge, you can see the remnants of the old mill.

Huge snapping turtles live deep in the pool beneath the waterfall. Watch just below the cliff edge, you may see them basking in the early morning sun.

Length: The trail is about a 1/2 mile and takes about 40 minutes to hike.

Remember: You know your child's abilities best. Use caution on any trail and keep them close by. Everyone must stay on the trails at Hocking Hills State Park.
