| General Information |
| The OES visited the Hayden Falls on June 8, 2004. The falls sit just off of Hayden Run Road, just west of Griggs Dam, in the Columbus Metro area and is part of the Griggs Reservoir Park. This beautiful waterfall has to be one of the city's best kept secrets, as one wouldn't expect such a site in an urbanized area. On our primary visit, a few people were swimming beneath the falls and we found that it makes for a great swimming hole. We have heard that some people have jumped from the top of the falls into the water, but we wouldn't recommend this because the water isn't very deep. There is a small pull-off on Hayden Run Road where you can park, just use caution when going down the steep hill. After rain, the area is full of water, sometimes impassible. When it hasn't rained in a week or two, the falls are sometimes reduced to a trickle. The falls are about 25 feet with a crest of around 10 feet. It is definitely a place to check out if you live in the Columbus area. | |
