Paine Creek Falls is a two-tiered waterfall near the shores of Lake Erie that makes for a pleasant, scenic spot for those traveling between Buffalo and Cleveland.

Located about 5 miles southeast of Painesville and fed by Paine Creek, the 25-foot waterfall, once named Bakers Falls, can be found in a small metro park with picnic areas, grills and restrooms, and a hiking trail that skirts the rim of a gorge with beautiful views.

The park in which Paine Creek Falls is situated can easily be reached about half a mile off Paine Road just past the bridge.
