Erin Ijesa Waterfall, Osun State

Erin Garden is a thick forest that houses Erin Ijesa Waterfalls. It is located some 20 kilometers east of IIesa-Akure Road. According to the custodian of the waterfall, it was founded by a woman called Akinla -a granddaughter of Oduduwa in the year 11AD during the migration of people to Erin Ijesa town. 

The waterfall has about five layers and only few visitors can climb beyond the second layer. The water flows among rocks and splashes down with great force to the evergreen vegetation around making the scenery, idyllic to the eyes.
