  • Cascade Falls Park

The park features a 0.5-mile one-way gravel trail to a scenic overlook offering views of beautiful 60-foot-tall Cascade Falls. The falls are fed by East Creek which flows westward through this property before emptying into Big Creek. For your safety, please remain on designated trail and overlook deck.

The parking lot is located on the north side of Girdled Road across the street from Girdled Road Reservation’s north entrance. When exiting the park, be sure to note that vehicles may only make a righthand turn to head west on Girdled Road.

Waterfalls are created over long periods of time and require soft rock (i.e. shale), hard rock (i.e. siltstone) and flowing water. There are many different types of waterfalls, depending mostly on a region’s geology. Most common types of waterfalls in Lake Metroparks include plunge, cascade, punchbowl and block. Cascade Falls is a great example of a plunge type waterfall.
