Statons Creek Falls

A lovely waterfall that is divided into several smaller drops that make it impossible to photograph in it's entirety. The total drop would be well over 100 ft. It is right beside CR-633 and is reached by taking US-60 from Buena Vista, then turning on CR-605, before the final turn onto CR-633. There is a small pull-off on the right side of the road a little past the top of the falls. Care should be taken in scrambling around the bank of the falls, it is very rocky, usually wet or ice covered, and potentially dangerous.
