Where the Waterfalls Are

Sandusky sits in or near the Western Ohio and Lake Erie area of Ohio. Away from the plateau, Ohio's falls are few but varied. Greenville Falls, near Covington in Miami County, drops over a limestone ledge in a small nature preserve along Greenville Creek, an unusual sight in the flat farmland of western Ohio. In Adams County, along the Ohio River hills of the far south, Cedar Falls lies in rugged, unglaciated country known for its dolomite and limestone landscapes and rare plants. Sandusky Falls lies in Erie County in the Lake Erie region. These are local destinations rather than major attractions, best visited after rain when their small streams carry enough water to make an impression. Read the Ohio waterfall guide.
