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!

To be honest, the waterfalls in winter don’t look as beautiful as you might expect. The water is still flowing, but everything is freezing, and in some areas the water looks slightly yellowish — probably from natural sediment and tree debris. It’s still nice to see, just not as magical as in other seasons. What really surprised us was finding out it’s a national park. We didn’t expect to see people actually living there! There are freeways, school buses, and even several ski resorts inside the park. It feels very developed and doesn’t look like a typical “park” at all. Overall, it’s still a good place to visit — just go with the right expectations, especially during winter.

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.

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.

Brandywine Falls is absolutely breathtaking and one of the prettiest spots in Ohio! The waterfall is stunning, especially after a good rain, and the boardwalk trail makes it easy to enjoy the views from every angle. The surrounding nature …
