As we wind toward the end of our Ohio waterfalls trip we've planned two nights in Columbus. We drove in yesterday evening after our spur-of-the-moment road trip to Wheeling WV. Tomorrow, we fly home from Columbus airport. But today, we've set aside the whole day for visiting a trio of waterfalls right here in town. First up is Hayden Run Falls.
It's an easy walk to the grotto where Hayden Falls pours over a rocky lip. Stairs lead down from the small parking lot, and a well maintained boardwalk leads into the short canyon. There are signs of there being a trail on the ground in the past.... I'll put in my 2 cents for "Please don't jump the fence and try the dirt path." ...Not because it's dangerous but because it's harmful to the natural environment.
Besides, what you really want to do is spend more time here, at the falls.

She's got twelve ducklings.
Ducks need the untrampled mud and greenery to nest their eggs and raise their chicks.
Where's the father in all of this? Watch the video, I believe I spotted him some distance away, out drinking with one of his buddies. 🤣
