Hike To An Ancient Mound And A Waterfall At Indian Mound Reserve In Ohio

There’s nothing like a short hike in Ohio nature to rejuvenate your senses and recharge your mind. Here in Ohio, we have several parks and nature preservers to explore. Indian Mound Reserve in Cedarville, Ohio is one of the most scenic, little-known places to hike in the state. With fairly easy trails and lots to see, it’s a great place to explore with the whole family.

Home to several trails and plenty to explore, Indian Mound Reserve is a true hidden gem in Greene County.

Although the park is divided into eight different trails, we recommended taking the Gorge Trail and Rim Trail, which covers about 3 miles total, one-way.

Along the Gorge Trail, the Mound Trail branches off, leading you to Williamson Mound.

Along the Rim Trail, you'll find Cedar Cliff Falls, which features a wonderful boardwalk that let's you see the falls up close from different angles.

In the springtime, the falls are framed by colorful wildflowers that make the view unbelievably picturesque.
