Big Lyons Falls — Attraction in Hanover Township

Super gorgeous, super fun, and great exercise ❤️ can't wait to go back and do...

The falls are closer to Pleasant Hill Dam. But you can also park at the covered bridge. There are two falls along the path. Definitely worth the time to see. The entire trail is within the forest. So even on a hot day you will not be hiking in the direct sun. But still bring water! There is no water located at the dam. There are latrines... but no...
