A 35-foot waterfall tucked into a wooded ravine in suburban Dublin, reached by a quarter-mile trail of steps and a boardwalk to a lower viewing area. The water falls into a shallow pool before draining toward the Scioto River.
Its 35 ft drop is taller than about 27% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Hayden Run. It lies in Franklin, Ohio. The site is on public land managed by City of Dublin (Hayden Falls Park).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.25 miles round trip. The nearest town is Dublin.
When to go: Spring (after rain or snowmelt). Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
