Mill Creek Park is an enormous metropolitan park that was established by Volney Rogers in 1891 to protect the beautiful environs of Mill Creek from encroaching industrialism and to provide an enormous green space for the residents of Youngstown.
Today, you can visit the park to enjoy tennis, golf (there are two 18-hole courses), fishing, boating, picnicking, and much more.
Hiking enthusiasts can make use of 15 miles of foot trails, while the Metro Parks Bikeway is an 11-mile paved trail for cyclists, skateboarders, or hikers.
You can go boating and fishing on Lake Glacier or go kayaking and wildlife watching in the New Port Wetlands at the southern end of the lake.
Lanterman’s Falls, the Lanterman Mill, and the historic Covered Bridge are all worth a visit. Map
