Hike the Pleasant Hill Lyons Falls Loop

To get to this trail you can go to the Dam that is a part of Pleasant Hill Lake and there is a parking area across the street. After you start walking you reach signs that will ask where you want to go, either to the covered bridge or to the Lyons Falls.

By going towards the covered bridge first you get an easy path with amazing views of both the Mohican Memorial Forest and the Clearfork-Mohican River. Once you reach the covered bridge there is a completely beautiful view of the river and the forest (picture #2 above). At this spot you are close to a picnic and bathroom area as well.

After the covered bridge if you head towards the Lyons Falls you get a much shorter walk to the Big Lyons Falls. This waterfall is very tall and worth taking the time to see. The Little Lyons Falls is just as beautiful to see but, as the name says, much smaller. There is the possibility of the climbing on the rocks to get a different view but this could be dangerous. Once done with the waterfalls the path completes itself by going back to the Dam where you started.
