Mohican State Park Map​

Located in the Mohican State Park, Little Lyons Falls is a 25-foot tall waterfall situated near the much larger Lyons Falls. While the flow on Little Lyons is never high, a unique cave has formed at the base of the falls, making this a great place to explore regardless of the waterfall's flow.
