Gorge Wonders

Ohio History

Steamboat Rock

Enjoy some more unusual sights along the Clifton Gorge trail. The moss-covered rock above looks like an old steamboat chugging up the river (hence the name). Yes, those are trees up there growing on the top ledge! There seemed to be undergrowth on every horizontal surface there. The rocks seemed a good bit harder to hike over than to grow on! It’s a wonder that this the only rock along the river that's been named!

Waterfall

There were two magnificent waterfalls cascading from the top rim down to the river. This one had a miniature set of falls at the bottom over some beautiful rock steps. It was really pretty! The excess rain made all this possible, since the channels are usually all dried up.
