Trail Description:


The one-way Cedar Falls Trail picks up across from the restrooms at the Cedar Falls Picnic Area.  The trail descends to Queer Creek and crosses on a bridge, then follows the creek upstream to the base of the falls.


Although not the highest, it is the biggest waterfall by volume in the Hocking Hills region and most consistently flowing.


Past the falls, the trail returns to the parking area to make a half-mile loop.
