Description
Brandywine Waterfall, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Northfield, Sagamore Hills, Ohio
Brandywine Creek is a tributary of the Cuyahoga River that is partly contained in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. Brandywine Falls, 86 feet high, at 814 feet within Cuyahoga Valley National Park approximately 2 miles South of Ohio State Route 82, and 1 mile North-West of Olde Eight in Sagamore Hills, Ohio. From there, wooden paths lead down to the waterfall.
The Rock Layers are formed with Berea sandstone (320 million years), Bedford Shale (350 million years), and Cleveland Shale (350 - 400 million years)
The rock layers of the 60-foot Brandywine Falls can be read like a book. Each chapter covers millions of years, as ancient seas left behind sediments that were compressed by added layers. The rocks here at the base of the falls were formed more than 400 million years ago.
Brandywine Creek and the "bridal veil" cascades began about 10,000 years ago after the last glacial retreat. The falls have now exposed the harder, yellow-brown Berea sandstone looming over the softer, deep red Bedford Shale. Since sandstone is more resistant to erosion, the shale below is frequently undercut. As these layers wear away, the story of the earth continues to be revealed.
