A Waterfall in the City?

I had heard rumors of there being a waterfall somewhere in Columbus, so I did a little digging and found out it was only about 10 minutes from our house. It's not the biggest waterfall ever, but the little Hayden Run actually carved a pretty impressive gorge on its way to the Scioto River. There was a little parking lot, and then you follow the trail down a set of stairs and over a new-looking boardwalk through the gorge, until you end up at the pool at the base of the waterfall. Together with a picnic, it was a really fast and easy weeknight date.

Here's the link for any of my Columbus friends. As you can see from that website, if you go in the spring, the waterfall actually spans across the whole cliff at the top. Maybe a repeat trip is in order?
