Nice 18 hole course. Half of the holes are nice open fields and half are shorter, more technical, through the woods. I visited in early spring. A bike path runs along one edge of the course.

Charleston Falls is marketed as a “Miniature Niagara” because its rock strata is the same as Niagara Falls.  Originating from small underground springs several miles to the east, the stream creating the falls plummets 37 feet then continues its meandering journey to the Great Miami River.

The park has about four miles of trails. The falls are very easy to reach from the main parking lot.
The cone-like fruit of the Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is an aggregate of winged carpels. When mature, the individual samaras disseminate and  'helicopter' down through the canopy and can be scattered by the wind to distances equal to four or five times the height of a tree. The remaining axis of the fruit is persistent through winter and gives unique character to the tree's, otherwise bare, winter silhouette.
