TOP Boardwalk scenic trails and views in Cleveland, Ohio

Brandywine Falls is a stunning 60-foot waterfall located at 8176 Brandywine Road in Northfield, Ohio. This popular tourist attraction can be accessed via a partially accessible boardwalk, which may be closed during icy conditions. The falls are open daily from dawn to dusk, but visitors are advised to avoid peak times due to limited parking. The Brandywine Gorge Loop trail, a 1.5-mile path that starts near a bed & breakfast, allows visitors to explore beyond the waterfall and offers views of the gorge and creek. The trail is particularly beautiful in the spring when vernal pools attract breeding salamanders. The area is also known for its seasonal changes, such as fall colors and winter ice formations.
