Mill Creek Park

1 of 3

Mill Creek Park is located on the outskirts of Youngstown. It is one of the hidden Ohio treasures. Visitors to the park may enjoy tennis, golf (there are two 18-hole courses), fishing, boating, picnicking, and other activities.

Lanterman's Falls, a stunning 15-foot cascade fed by Mill Creek, is overlooked by a historic grist mill. The restored waterwheel and covered bridge at the mill create a historic and one-of-a-kind experience. There are also various trails surrounding the falls and the stream that will take you to different viewpoints of the falls for even better shots. The viewpoint is a short walk from a parking area on Mill Creek's north bank.

Hiking aficionados may enjoy 15 miles of footpaths, while cyclists, skateboarders, and hikers can utilize the Metro Parks Bikeway, an 11-mile paved track.
