Ohio DNR: Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve

Amphitheater Falls is a side stream that drops about 25 feet into the Little Miami River gorge in Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve, an Ohio nature preserve next to John Bryan State Park. From the parking lot, a short trail leads to the nature center. Take one of the stairways down to the Gorge Trail, which follows the river downstream past rapids, slump blocks and Amphitheater Falls toward John Bryan State Park. Return the same way or climb to the Rim Trail.
