Dozens of galleries, museums, performance venues and historic sites celebrate the culture of the area. Miles of hiking trails and green spaces offer energetic activities to active travelers.

Established in 1891 by Volney Rogers, Mill Creek Park is Ohio’s first park district. It now spans 4500+ acres and includes 3 lakes (Glacier, Newport, Cohasset), historic Lanterman’s Mill, Fellows Riverside Gardens, Ford Nature Center and Mill Creek Golf Course, to name just a few of the park’s highlights. If you love nature, you’ll love Mill Creek Park! I grew up a stone’s throw away from Lake Newport but as a kid took the park’s beauty for granted. It wasn’t until I moved away that I began to appreciate what a gem it truly is. Mill Creek Park is my favorite place to visit whenever I am in the area. Go ahead and explore the winding roads and trails! Beautiful in every season; my favorite is autumn when the trees are ablaze with red, yellow, and orange leaves. See the Mill Creek Metroparks website for help on planning your visit.
