Indian Mound Reserve is a nature preserve located in Cedarville, Ohio. It covers an area of 166 acres and features hiking trails, picnic areas, and scenic views. The reserve is known for its prehistoric Native American earthwork mounds, which date back to the Adena culture from around 800 BC to 100 AD. The earthwork mounds at Indian Mound Reserve are considered to be some of the most well-preserved examples of Adena culture mounds in Ohio. The largest mound is about 25 feet high and 140 feet in diameter, and is believed to have been used for ceremonial purposes. In addition to the mounds, the reserve also features a variety of habitats, including forests, wetlands, and prairies. Visitors can hike on several trails that wind through these different habitats, offering an opportunity to see a variety of wildlife and plant species. The Indian Mound Reserve is open year-round, and admission is free. Visitors are asked to follow the posted rules and regulations to help protect the natural environment and cultural resources of the reserve.

Awesome Park and the Cedar Cliff Falls provided a beautiful place to escape to. Trails are easy to navigate and the trail for the falls is handicap friendly for the most part. Trail ends at a graveled trail after the paved/boardwalk sections. The gorge rim trail is not handicapped accessible. Trails are easy to moderate. The trail going down the gorge is rocky and tree roots are throughout this trail. I recommend hiking boots to protect oneself from a twisted ankle incident . There are steps to go down into part of the gorge. Slippery in places so use caution when going down into the gorge and also walking along the bottom trail. Trails are marked well so no fear of getting lost. Time wise, we spent about 3 hours here to enjoy nature.

Located outside of Yellowsprings Ohio, is a park tucked away in the middle of quiet... but you can partake in hiking on one of its numerous trails, looking at beautiful flowing waters, from the look out bridge, discover unknowns in one of her many taverns or caves, charter to the other side of the park, on a more than 1 1/2 mile long trek... seek out breathtaking opps in nature on one of her mild to moderate trails... find shelter or even set up for a picnic... soak your in a wonderful stream of flowing waters or just relax and bask in the glorious sunlight for a quick tan... Either way fun awaits... *we did take water and misquote/bug repellent with us...

Awesome park! There's a great little waterfall which is unfortunately man made but still looks very nice. The trails are fun and walk right next to the ravine and there are great little access points to go down to the creek bed so you can walk in the ravine. There's also a fun Native American mound that you can hike to which is pretty fun. None of the hikes here were particularly long or difficult so if your looking for a really intense hiking experience or a long hike you won't find it here but the scenery is great and the trails were fun enough. My only regret was not bringing climbing shoes to try climbing some of the awesome rock formations here.

I loved this little park, especially the waterfall. There were many places from which to see and listen to the lovely falling water. It was peaceful and relaxing. There were a few other people enjoying the park, including some children, and everyone seemed to be enjoying nature, the beauty, and each other's company. There were other trails at the park for both adventure and exercise, a large open space for playing, and picnic tables including some under a shelter. A lovely place to spend an hour or even an entire afternoon.

Found this place a year or so ago after turning around I the parking lot. Not a whole lot of waterfalls to check out without a long hike in the area. It's a small trail with a couple of options (on the ridge or in the gorge near the water). I've rarely seen other folks out there while I'm hiking so I take the dog off leash. The waterfall is pretty large for the stream coming into it, and you can get pretty close to the falls.
