Waterfall Tour: Don't Go Chasing
Waterfalls
By: Kipp Dietrich
Introduction
Northern Ohio is home to some of the most unique and spectacular waterfalls. Waterfalls are abundant in the area, so it’s not hard to stumble upon some lesser-known ones when you’re hiking through the woods. In this article, we will touch on some of the most awe-inspiring waterfalls that the Tinker’s Creek and Brandywine Creek watersheds have to offer. So, sit back and enjoy some winter scenes, as we set out on our grand adventure to the waterfalls of Tinker’s Creek and Brandywine Creek.
Crown Hill Waterfall
Crown Hill Waterfall is located at the Crown Hill Cemetery in Twinsburg, Ohio. This waterfall is hidden in the back of the cemetery with a small enclave just behind the falls. In winter, this waterfall has many large icicles despite the water still flowing into the small pool/stream below. This waterfall is truly a hidden gem in a somber sanctuary.
Great Falls of Tinker’s Creek
This waterfall has got to be at the top of anyone’s list for the most beautiful frozen waterfall in northern Ohio. The Great Falls of Tinker’s Creek was almost completely frozen in January, with large icicles coating the falls and the cliffs above. When the sun peaks through the clouds and shines on this ice, you may never want to leave the majestic view.
Hemlock Creek “Waterfall”
Stone Quarry Falls
This “waterfall” is more of a man-made feature. It is beautiful either way, especially in winter. I visited this “waterfall” after a major ice storm, so everything (I mean everything) was coated in a layer of ice. The grass, the rocks, the trees, and even the ice, had a fairly thick coating, which made getting close to the falls without falling in a bit of a challenge. After a painstakingly long and careful scramble, I was rewarded with a magnificent scene as the water crashed into the stream below. Stone quarry falls is one of the many beautiful waterfalls in the Bedford Reservation. This waterfall can be found along the Bridle trail between Bridal Veil Falls and the Lost Meadows Picnic Area. Deep down in the gorge, this waterfall flows at fast speeds, creating a pleasant roar that can be heard from the trail above. The winter cold forms truly awesome icicles along the valley walls. This waterfall is certainly worth the hike. Just watch your step.
