Bridal Veil Falls is a 15-foot cascade on Deerlick Creek in Bedford Reservation, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, close to the town of Walton Hills.
The falls
A lidar reading puts the drop at about 15 feet, well under the 30 feet used previously; World Waterfall Database marks the measurement unconfirmed and does not give a source stream. The falls come down as one gradual sliding cascade, with the overlook set on Deerlick Creek. The reservation sits in the Erie Drift Plain, where local creeks cut through shale and sandstone bluffs south of Lake Erie.
Getting there
The Bridal Veil Falls Trailhead has a parking area in Bedford Reservation, which Cleveland Metroparks manages. From the lot, the route crosses the parkway and descends wooden steps to an overlook that includes a boardwalk and further steps. The falls are about 0.8 mile from Walton Hills and roughly 9.2 miles from Parma.
