    Hiking

    Cedar Creek Falls is a beautiful cascade that drops 80 feet into a shimmering pool of water. It's best to visit the falls in the spring or fall, when there is a higher chance of water running.

    The falls are located in Cleveland National Forest and there is a permit required for the trail leading up to them, so be sure to plan your hike accordingly!
