Williamstown puts you on the I-75 spine between Cincinnati and Lexington, with 13 falls scattered through the outer Bluegrass on either side. Fremont Falls is the reliable starter, a half mile walk, dogs welcome. Horseshoe Falls takes an easy mile, and Hoffman matches that distance at a moderate grade. Several entries, Butler and Crowe among them, exist in our records as names alone, so confirm before driving far. These creeks run on rainfall, and late winter through spring is when the drops earn the walk.

Located at 38.6415°N, -84.5675°W
