Blue Hen Falls Details

This small but popular waterfall falls 15 feet over sandstone ledges to a cavernous, swirling plunge pool below. Over time, the minerals found in the surrounding slate and sandstone rock have stained them interesting colors, and the towering hardwoods and tall evergreens complete the pretty picture. Even in the winter the water rushing from Spring Creek creates crystalline ice sculptures. The fall can be accessed by a side trail on the long-distance Buckeye Trail, as well as from it's own trail, complete with viewing area.
