Once upon a time, Ohio was covered by an ancient ocean. The landscape has changed dramatically since then, but this area is unusually famous for its ancient fossilized sharks and fishes. In more modern history, the landscape around Lake Erie was once glaciated, meaning massive chunks of moving ice crushed and shaped the landscape and left evidence of glacial grooves. While non-Ohioans will scoff at the state and say it’s all corn and soybeans, our topography is actually rather significant in the scientific community. There are secret features here that exist nowhere else on earth, and some that exist only under exceedingly rare circumstances. One of the more unusual natural features here is a beach waterfall near Cleveland that flows directly into Lake Erie. There aren’t too many comparable beachfront waterfalls out there, but this spot is enchanting and well worth a visit.

This hidden beach waterfall near Cleveland is a real treat for the senses, immersing you in the sounds of crashing waves and cascading waters alike. Have you ever visited this Bay Village waterfall? Tell us about your experience in the comments!
