Beautiful falls but one should be warned it's mega quick and not exactly a hike. You can see it from the parking lot and in total you could be out of there in 15 mins easy. Board walk and steps to get there but it is pretty and for a super quick stop in the area it's worth it but like I'm saying don't plan hours for this. Bathrooms are on site.

We were told this waterfall is a 'must see' when visiting Cuyahoga National Park. This advice was exactly right, this fall is very scenic and beautiful. We walked the trail from Boston Mill Visitor Center. The trail was wide enough for a comfortable side-by-side, and the pathway was easy to navigate, just a few sections with tree roots, steps and rocks. The walk through the forest was a beautiful, 2.5 mile adventure. There are places where people come to play in the river water which looked like a nice way to beat the heat / humidity of the day. When you get to the falls, there is a staircase that splits and you can see the falls from either the top, or closer to the bottom vantage point. We noted that when we went to the top of the staircase, the pathway continued up to a parking lot. Many people visited the falls by parking there, and for them, it was a short walk down the staircase to see the falls - so wonderful that there are options for a quick visit if that is all the time you have available. We definitely enjoyed this visit.

Beautiful falls. Plenty of parking and easy to get to via a small boardwalk surrounded by beautiful greenery and stones.

July 2021 -- Brandywine Falls at Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Agnes I.

I visited for the first time with a female empowerment and social group in July 2021. The falls are located within Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Depending on where you live in Cleveland, the Falls may be either close or far from you. I wish I lived closer otherwise, I would come often. My drive is about 40 mins to an hour to get here depending on traffic so I haven't been back to the Falls since 2021. Once inside, you can follow marked hiking trails and enjoy the scenery as you go. The group that I was with enjoyed walking in the woods especially with the lovely weather that we had on that day. I enjoyed my visit here and I hope to come back soon, perhaps for a day trip around the neighbourhood where the Falls is located. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 19/365 total reviews in 2025 - 800 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025

So happy to see the National Park open during the government shut down! The bathrooms were exceptionally clean too. The trail is beautiful & easy to hike. Several places to view the Falls.

Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga National Park

This was our first stop in Cuyahoga Nat'l Park, and maybe one its highlights. We didn't know what to expect with the waterfall or area. The trail leading down to the waterfall viewing platform from the parking lot is a short walk. We enjoyed the waterfall but felt that doing some extended hiking in the area probably would have maximized the area. Cheers.

We popped over to Brandywine Falls before heading to the Cleveland airport today and it was a really nice stuff! We didn't realize that it was part of the national park, but we're pleasantly surprised when it was free to enter. The Falls are only a short walk from the parking lot, there are three ways to experience them. There's the upper mid and old mile paths. All of them require you to go up and downstairs, they aren't steep, but there are plenty! You could probably do the mid stairs and be in and out within 15 to 20 minutes, but you can also take the upper trail and go on the walking and bike path and stay for as long as you'd like! What's nice is that there is a lot of of shade, and the stairs don't get wet. The falls are quite nice and pretty to see, but there isn't much seating near the platform so it's more of a viewing, take a few pictures, and then carry on.

I visited Brandywine Falls with my newborn, and it was such a peaceful experience. Even though the weather was hot, the trails offered plenty of shade which made the walk enjoyable. There are quite a few steps along the way, but it's worth the effort -- you can see the waterfall from both the top and the bottom. The reward at the end is a truly beautiful waterfall, making it a perfect spot to enjoy nature and take in the views Public bathrooms Decent parking lot 0.4 trail from parking lot (in and out) 1.5 loop trail as well.

Just stunning. I always forget this is not too far from me. It is not busy and not crowded usually (although I may have just lucked out at the times I went.) It is particularly gorgeous in the spring when everything is beginning to bloom. If you like to hike (or even if you don't!) this is a nice place to visit. I got the impression there is something for everyone- more simple trails and also more advanced. The falls are the real treat though. What a beautiful area.

View of the falls and a rainbow!

We came here after a big storm, so the falls were roaring! I had visited earlier a few years ago during a drought and let's say the falls were more of a trickle... I'm glad I gave the falls a second chance, since it was such a beauty and there was even a rainbow! There is a small parking lot with bathrooms at the trailhead. There's a boardwalk area with plenty of steps down to the falls, and then a bunch of unpaved trails if you want a longer jaunt in a loop. There's plenty of tree cover on this trail as well. Even though there were many people at the beginning, the further you go from the falls, the more secluded it gets. We even saw a few garter snakes in addition to the usual birds. It's a perfect place to enjoy nature.

Short hike to a beautiful waterfall There is a small parking lot with bathrooms. You follow an easily marked trail of stairs to view the waterfall. The trails are also linked to the bike path so you could take a much longer, scenic hike or ride in the area.

This trail was so cute and family friendly. We brought our four-year-old toddler and he enjoyed every minute of it. We loved being able to go around the Falls and down to the creek area and let him explore their this has a fun afternoon hike took about two hours with toddler and tow

One of the more scenic places in northern Ohio. Easy to get to and nice views along the way.

It has been many years since I had been to the Valley View Cinemark location. I went here on New…read moreYear's Day for the Stranger Things finale. The tickets were about what movie theater tickets cost, ours included some concession credits. I got a large blue Powerade. We went to the side concessions away from the main concession line, which had a significantly shorter line but was not nearly as stocked with concessions. Just fountain drinks and popcorn. In the theater, the seats were full of room for you to lounge. The seats we had the buttons to recline which could be a problem if you're prone to falling asleep. The screen is huge! The angle of view from the seats we had was perfect to me. The sound was loud and very clear with the sound coming from each direction. All staff we interacted with on entry and exit were all smiling and wishing us all safe travels back with it snowing like crazy earlier. I am more likely to make the drive down to this location. This is how you would want to experience a movie in a theater. Good work Valley View Cinemark!!

I recently visited Cinemark Valley View for a very early Wicked For Good screening. Amazon…read moreperiodically offers paid early screening tickets to Prime members. I have been to this movie theater numerous times over the years, and found that it hardly changed over the years. It remains timeless. AMBIANCE: The movie theatre is spacious offering a lot of pre-movie activities. There is a sit down cafe area to start nibbling on your popcorn. There is a small arcade with claw machines, and games for solo or groups. They also usually have a display for new movies where you can take fun keepsake pictures. I found that quite a few couples and friend groups checking out the amenities before the movies. The movie theater rooms are certainly outdated considering other cinemas in the area. The recliner chairs operate slowly and appear worn. My least favorite part is the lack of row labels. The row labels are on the floor/carpet. It makes it impossible to see during dim lighting before the movie and should you need to leave during the movie. It's just simply not practical. CONCESSIONS: Concessions go above and beyond with food and movie merch. For instance, Wicked performance featured toys, souvenirs, and even pink/green popcorn. The concessions are overpriced as they are everywhere. SERVICE: The service here is very subpar. Employees mumble to customers and it's really hard to decipher what they're saying. I had this experience during initial entry and at concessions. They are very apathetic or even borderline rude. You don't feel welcome here at all, the service is pretty bad. PARKING: There is a huge parking lot at this movie theatre, larger than other. The parking lot is well lit so you feel reasonably safe. In all honesty, I won't be sprinting back to this movie theatre. I was just purchasing tickets to the next exciting movie release, this movie theatre was the last on my list. I purchased tickets to another movie theatre. My main reasons are that the movie theatre is very outdated and service is terrible. I'd rather go to a more updated venue with friendly staff.
