An adventure through the Brandywine Falls Trail is waiting for you. The fresh smell of nature, along with the sound of rushing water, is something to be desired. The 1.5-mile loop will take you along some of the most beautiful parts of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP), the ninth most visited national park in the United States in 2022.
Breathtaking Beauty of the Brandywine Falls Trail
Start the trail by enjoying some of the freshly preserved grounds surrounding Brandywine Falls, a 65-foot waterfall that will leave you speechless. The trail will lead you to an easily accessible boardwalk that takes you directly to the waterfall. The view of the waterfall from the boardwalk is something out of a movie. Take a solo stroll or bring family and friends to see this popular trail and sight in the CVNP.
The sights will have you coming back time and time again. The different seasons will provide you with various experiences of the Falls. Spring offers vernal pools along with prime bloom season, and summer brings sunset views and beautiful weather. The fall showcases color-changing leaves, and the winter brings a wonderland, giving the waterfall a new look! No matter what time of year you visit the trail, there are beautiful sights to see each time to make the same trail feel like a brand new one.
After taking in the stunning fall view, head back on the trail. The loop will offer you a look at some of the indigenous nature inside of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It will then take you back to the beginning of the trail, exactly where you started. You’ll leave with memories that you can never forget! Plan your trip and learn more at visitakron-summit.org.
