Newark borrows its waterfalls from two directions. South in the Hocking Hills, Cedar Falls pours 50 feet into a sandstone bowl at the end of nine tenths of a mile, easy grade, dogs fine. Give that one the whole day. North at Mohican State Park, Big Lyons and Little Lyons Falls sit in the same hemlock gorge, each roughly a two-mile round trip that climbs 200 feet. Grove Falls carries matching numbers. Four falls total within fifty miles of Licking County's flat middle.

Located at 40.0706°N, -82.4250°W
