Brandywine Creek (Cuyahoga River tributary)

Brandywine Falls, 86 feet (26.2 m) high, at 41°16′37″N 81°32′17″W / 41.27694°N 81.53806°W / 41.27694; -81.53806, Elevation: 814 feet (248.1 m)[4] within Cuyahoga Valley National Park, is accessed by a parking lot located on Stanford Road, about 100 feet (30.5 m) from Brandywine Road, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) South of Ohio State Route 82, and 1 mile (1.6 km) North-West of Olde Eight in Sagamore Hills, Ohio.

Each chapter covers millions of years, as ancient seas left behind sediments that were compressed by added layers.

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.
