Cedar Mill Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Cedar Mill Falls is a lovely waterfall that can be easily accessed through a wooden platform from Northwest Cornell Road. The falls are very picturesque and it can be a nice place to stop by while cycling. The platform system is very short but it does have stairs, so you might need to walk with the bike in small sections.
