Hayden Run  -  Hayden Run Waterfall Ravine is a beautiful example of  a limestone ravine located along the Scioto River near Dublin. The ravine has been protected as part of the City of Columbus' "Griggs Nature Preserve." The park is publicly accessible with a new boardwalk and includes two spectacular overlooks at the top of the massive cliffs. Several representative limestone outcrop plants can be observed, including Blue Ash and the Smooth Cliffbrake Fern.
