Summary

Trails leading through the Lower Gorge come to Queer Creek and eventually to Cedar Falls at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Cedar Falls is a semi-circular cliff over which Cedar Creek flows to form a waterfall, 50 feet in height. Behind the falls is a small recess cave formed by the sapping action of the plunge pool. The face of the waterfall is crossed by two deep grooves, formed by the abrasive action of small sand particles, through which the water flows. The rim of Cedar Falls is composed of the hard, massive upper layer of the Black Hand Sandstone. Two joint fractures are readily visible in the upper zone
