Berea Falls is a series of drops on the Rocky River in Cleveland Metroparks' Rocky River Reservation, in Berea, with old stone railroad arch bridges just beyond. The Berea Falls Scenic Overlook has a small parking lot that also serves as a staging area for cyclists. From the overlook platform you see the multiple drops from above. A trail starting near the overlook goes down to the river for closer views; it is rocky and can be muddy.
