Named for the Charleston Falls Preserve in which the falls are situated, the Charleston Falls is a 37-foot waterfall that is nearly as wide as it is tall.

The waterfall is fed by Charleston Creek, which has cut a deep and rocky gorge on its way to the Great Miami River and is unusual for the mostly rolling farmland landscapes of Ohio that surround it.

The falls are at their best after a good rain, and the waters flowing down the gorge make for an impressive sight.

The falls can be reached by several trails leading down into the ravine to the base of the falls, and there is a bridge and viewing area below the falls where beautiful photographs can be taken.
