The hike then returns to the parking lot via the same route. There is also another parking lot on the west side of OH-664 approximately 0.4 miles north of the west trailhead parking lot. Directly across from the parking lot on 664 and over the guardrail there is another small trail to Robinson Falls, also sometimes referred to as Corkscrew Falls. These falls are worth viewing, but a permit is required. |
