The OES visited Indian Run Falls on March 11, 2006. These falls, like Hayden Falls, seem a little out of place in the urban area surrounding it. The falls are on a more gradual decline than Hayden Falls and the top was not quite as tall. The water going over the falls eventually ends up in the Scioto River about a half mile downstream. The area surrounding the falls was home to the Wyandot Indians before settlers began developing the land. There was a rather high bridge that overlooked the gorge, but there wasn’t an easy way to access the bottom of the gorge. The City of Dublin has installed walking paths and boardwalks to make the area easier to access.
Location Information: Public Park
Indian Run Falls are located off West Bridge Street at 700 Shawan Falls Drive in Dublin; Franklin County.
Photographs
Our first look at Indian Run Falls after we walked into the woods.
The falls were about as high as Hayden Falls at around 25 but were on a more gradual incline.
A closer look at the falls.
The falls were narrow at the top and widened at the bottom.
The water moved swiftly over the cliffside.
A look at the rocky wall along the ravine.
Indian Run just before it reached to falls.
A large fault line next to the waterfall.
Some sort of old foundation. Perhaps it was for a bridge of some type along the pathway.
This long, narrow bridge crossed the ravine.
The ends of the bridge were fenced, but the bridge seemed sound to us.
Some poor kid had lost their bicycle to the stream.
This waterfall was a little farther downstream.
Here you can see the two sets of waterfalls together.
A wide view of the falls through the wooded area that surrounded the bridge.

Our last look at Indian Run Falls for the day.
Part of the ravine is on private property, so no trespassing.
