Blue Hen Falls, Waterfall in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio, US.
Blue Hen Falls is a waterfall in Cuyahoga Valley National Park where water cascades down a rocky face surrounded by thick forest. The stream flows through a narrow ravine lined with trees and moss-covered rocks.
This waterfall became protected when Cuyahoga Valley National Park was established, joining conservation efforts across northeastern Ohio. The area was set aside to preserve the region's natural river systems and forest landscapes.
Local photographers and artists frequently visit the falls throughout different seasons to capture its changing appearance against the natural surroundings.
The trail to the falls starts near Boston Mills Road and is an easy walk through the forest. Parking areas are available on both sides of the road, making access straightforward for visitors.
The falls are fed by an underground spring beneath Spring Creek, ensuring water flows year-round. This means the cascade remains active even after dry weather periods, making the site worth visiting in any season.
