Charleston Falls Preserve






Charleston Falls



 
 Charleston Falls Preserve is in Tipp City, Ohio just a short drive away. It is a lovely park of over 216 acres of woodland and Tall Grass prairie. It has 4 miles of hiking trails that are pleasant and easy to navigate. Along the trail were beautiful wild columbines, honeysuckle perfumed the air, and ferns formed banks of green. Limestone formations, a cave, and these beautiful falls. We were standing on the overlook looking down on the boardwalk and pool. It wasn't flowing heavily that day but it was still quite beautiful. The water falls 37' and is spring fed. The pool empties into a creek which makes its way to the Miami River. I can only imagine how beautiful it will be in the autumn and winter and will have to plan a trip back. The park is very popular as there were a lot of people out enjoying the day.

Just a lovely way to spend an afternoon...exercise and beauty!
