Ozone Falls is second largest waterfall in Ricketts Glen State Park and the largest falls in Glen Leigh. The fall is a steep cascade. I think the 60' height includes some of the small drops below the big drop.
The trail crosses the creek just above the falls, and then descends to the bottom via a switchback. You can get right down to the base of the falls, and with some rock hopping can cross over to the other side of the stream.
The day I visited the falls someone had a portable barbecue at the base of the falls and was grilling up some burgers. You could smell them a quarter mile up the gorge.
Ozone Falls was named for the Ozone Hunting Club which used the Ricketts house on the mountain as a local base.
This is the fifth falls from the top of Glen Leigh, and the last large single drop.
Nearby Falls
Huron Falls is a sixth of a mile upstream. The multi-tiered R.B. Ricketts Falls is 500 feet downstream, and B Reynolds Falls is another 500 feet beyond that. The bigger Ganoga Falls is about a mile away. Dozens of other waterfalls can be found within a 50 mile radius.
