This is a nice natural park. I love the walkways that were built into the side of the hill so you can see the falls without having to hike through the woods.

Very nice walks. Steps to Falls were very steep. Some trails had steep hills, but others were flatter

Awesome very easy to walk trail. The trail is all along a very nicely kept boardwalk that does have many steps. You get up close to the falls on the boardwalk and they are gorgeous!Restrooms: Very clean!Dog-friendliness: Loved seeing people out walking the boardwalk and the hiking trails with their pups!

One of the best waterfalls in the area. They are absolutely beautiful. Brandywine falls are jn the Cuyahoga Valley National Park so there are lots of things to see in the area. It would be the perfect date for those couples that like outdoor adventures.Restrooms: Nice, clean restroomsDog-friendliness: There were lots of dogs there on leashes, so dogs are definitely welcome

It is a very pretty cascade. A little bit of nature tucked into a suburban setting. The main viewing platform is wheelchair accessible, but the lower view point is worth the stairs. Very clean with water and restrooms at the ample parking lot.

Beautiful National Park!Certainly not in the top of my list of favorites, but getting outside of the hustle and bustle of Cleveland made for a beautiful afternoon/evening hike. ?Felt very safe. Easy for small children. Trails are very well maintained. Didn't see any snakes or other wildlife.Take water!!The waterfall is always a relaxing way to end the day.Restrooms: Convenient and mostly clean.Dog-friendliness: Perfect for dogs!!! Lots of places to run.

Beautiful falls- even with the drought, there's a decent waterfall!- and a beautiful place in general. If you just want to see the falls, the path is all a wooden boardwalk. You can see the falls from the bottom by taking a bunch of stairs, or from the top by following the flat boardwalk. I think it's great that people of any mobility levels have options to see the falls!If you want to extend your walk, you can follow the loop around (the Stanford loop) for a total of about 1.5 miles. This includes the boardwalk, some of the bike trail, and hiking through the woods.

Very easy boardwalk path out to the falls. There is a flat option to see the falls from the top and a lower option with stairs to get a little closer for a better view. With a baby and two dogs it was an easy waterfall to visit. The dogs were a little scared coming up the stairs but they did OK.Restrooms: Clean bathrooms at the parking lot.Dog-friendliness: Plenty of dogs around

Super easy trail along the boardwalk to a viewing spot at the top of the falls. Additional platform down quite a few steps, but very much worth it if you're able. Beautiful falls! Restrooms are at the car park.

The falls were breathtaking, I recommend taking a trip at least once. The park rangers were helpful and the premises were clean and well kept, along with very clean rest rooms.Restrooms: The rest rooms were very clean.Picnic area: There were many picnic tables around for people to enjoy and trash and recycle cans available nearby.

This is main attraction at Cuyahoga valley national park. There is a parking lot available. Sometimes you'll see parking lot full sign but just go inside anyway. You should get parking quickly. You don't have to do trail here. Just go to overlook spot as there is not much to see on trail.

The falls were fabulous with multi-level views. There was an easy trail that led to a mid view and also a high view. The high view trail wraps past the upper section and continues toward the parking lot. Both sections have some steps, I think. The parking lot was spacious enough with a short hike to the falls. There was a park employee at the top of the trail for part of the time. We encountered both families with young children and older couples on our hike. The missing star is due to who we encountered at the lookout for the falls. There was a lone male who was rolling weed and smoking it right there on the landing. There was also another solo male off to the side of the upper falls. He was off the trails and doing some sort of yoga. He looked like a hippy movie character. Honestly, our safety was questionable with both these males. The landing and trail was small, so we did not linger. I went to tell the employee at the top, but the employee was no longer there. This site is worth a stop, but it needs to have an employee at the falls.

It’s a beautiful falls and the hike around this falls is a pretty good workout. It takes us up and downhill. Loved the hike at this place. We enjoyed some places around the hike with the water flow, took time to sit down there and have some relaxation. If you are doing the just the falls, it’s has some pretty good steps to go down and up.

Always a hit with everyone! We take the trail to the falls then follow the loop on the Stanford trail which has an opening to enjoy the water and mini shale falls down the trail. Perfect for a summer day to let the kids loose and have fun and explore the rocks and water. This trail never disappoints and is a must see for all north east Ohioans.

Great hike we parked at the Boston trail head and Ohio and Erie trail head since all the other parking spots were full. It took us on a beautiful straight tow path trail for one mile and then we switched to the Stanford trail that was about 1.4 miles with two simi steep sloops but they were short and not bad. From there you have the option to take either the 1/4 mile straight up to the Brandywine Falls or go left and take the gorge trail that is 3/4 a mile but at a gentle sloop up to the falls. We opted for the straight up 1/4 mile since it was quicker but it is straight up they are not kidding so if you have bad knees or back take the longer trail. The bridge to the falls was busy and a little crowded but most people took turns and shared the views. Don't forget to finish the loop to the back of falls so you can see the remains of the old electric building that was hit by lighting back. If it's hot wear a hat and bring water, parts of the tails if not most are in the sun. Trail from parking lot to falls and back is 5 miles.
