Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park Ohio Part 2


In Ohio you can find gems in plain sight. I have been close to this park in my travels through Ohio. I have never stopped until today.  Herre is the State of Ohio Park link 

With all the rain I knew the waterfalls would be running hard. I had full access to Cascade Falls and they are getting close to wrapping up the construction project on Minnehaha Falls.

This place has a lot of mud after it rains so be very prepared. I wore my waders, and a wading jacket and I was dry as it continued to rain all day.

This place is close to the road, it’s in the country but I am sure as the water is wet it teams with people in the warmer months.

The rock formations are incredible. I want to believe with my limited knowledge of geology and erosion patterns these have eroded by an ancient river.  This is not sitting go no plateau or atop a mountain and constantly being bombarded by winds.  The other point to make the erosion patterns appear to be from the bottom up.  Water still runs at the bases of a lot of these huge pieces or rocks.

Here are some better sources that explain the geology of Nelson – Kennedy Ledges:

Ohio State Link 01

Geology Link 01

Ohio Department of Natural Resources Info

Ohio State Link 02

There are loops you can hike. I only did 1.8 miles but there is more to hike by using other loops.  I hope you enjoy the videos!
