Why You Should Visit

Located within the city limits of Cleveland, Mill Creek Falls (also known as Cataract Falls of Mill Creek) is a surprisingly large cascade that is relatively unknown by Northeast Ohio residents.  The waterfall is tucked away in a small and relatively sketchy urban park that has a history center and two observation decks for viewing the waterfall. Depending on how you classify it, this waterfall is technically manmade. In the early 1900’s a section of Mill Creek was diverted by a railroad company and the water began to flow over this cliff face, thus creating the waterfall you see here today. 


Directions

Parking for Mill Creek Falls is located on Webb Terrace, a small road off of Warner Road near where the road intersects with Broadway Avenue.  Ample parking is provided for visitors to the waterfall. A viewing deck exists right next to the falls, but I personally have found that the view from the base of the falls (pictured above) is much more scenic. This will require a bit of scrambling to reach, however, and is not for the faint of heart.
