The Blue Hen Falls Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, OH, is an easy 0.4 mile out-and-back hike down to the falls.

Blue Hen Falls is an overhanging plate of sandstone protruding from the underlying shale with a 15 foot waterfall. The hike is short and easy, but there is a small semi-steep hill you have to hike back up to get to parking, so this trail is not fully accessible.

When you reach the lookout point above Blue Hen Falls, you'll find a small trail that also leads down to the falls. Hiking down gets you a different perspective and you can even hike behind the falls.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.

You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
