A roughly 15-foot waterfall spanning the width of Tinker's Creek in the Bedford Reservation's Viaduct Park, where the creek's power once drove early mills. It is reached by a short paved out-and-back trail of about 0.6 mile from the Viaduct Park lot.
At 15 ft, it stands above roughly 7% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Tinker's Creek. You'll find it in Cuyahoga, Ohio. It is protected within Cleveland Metroparks (Bedford Reservation).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.6 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Bedford, the closest town.
When to go: Spring. Like most waterfalls, Great Falls of Tinker's Creek runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
