Richmond has Elkhorn Falls practically in its backyard, on Elkhorn Creek south of town, though our file holds no trail numbers for it. Derbyshire Falls gives a measured mile each way at an easy grade, dogs fine. Greenville Falls covers the same distance as a loop over in Ohio, where Greenville Creek cuts through limestone. All three fit inside a single unhurried morning, and spring flow decides how much water you get.

Located at 39.8318°N, -84.8905°W
