Waterfall Hikes Near Dayton, OH

Dayton sits in the Miami Valley on glaciated plains where river systems have cut shallow limestone and shale gorges, producing a landscape of rolling hills, riparian corridors, and parkland framed by suburban development. Within 50 miles the waterfall hikes are limited and generally moderate, following wooded creekside trails and short canyon scrambles through mature hardwood forest with seasonal flows and close trailhead access suitable for day trips.
