How to Prepare for Your Visit
The scenic, moderate terrain makes for a beautiful hike. The preserve is much larger than expected with a small trail network past the viewing area and roadside trails. Crossing above or below the falls is necessary to access these trails so please be cautious.

Directions
From the east side of Columbus, travel east on S.R. 46 about 8.5 miles to C.R. 925 E (on the right) and turn right (south). The road will turn sharply left, becoming C.R. 200 N. Follow the road for about 2.2 miles to C.R. 1140 E (on the left just before the creek) and turn left. Go about 0.4 miles to the parking lot on the left.

What to See: Plants and Animals
The beech/maple forest shares the land with shagbark hickory, white oak and buckeye trees.  In early spring, an array of wildflowers can be seen east of the falls.
