Paine Falls Park

Paine Falls Park Lake Metroparks’ Paine Falls Park is home to a striking 30‑foot waterfall cascading through a wooded valley. It became known as "Paine's Hollow."

A short trail leads to an overlook with views of Paine Falls, surrounded by a landscape with a rich history. HISTORY: Colonel Hendrick Paine, nephew of Edward Paine (founder of Painesville) moved his family in 1818 from Parkman, Ohio to this little valley. Paine built a log cabin on the terrace on the north side of the valley. In 1974, the area was named Paine Falls and was dedicated as a park by Lake Metroparks.

“Spend time every day looking and listening without any ulterior motive whatsoever. Look not as a writer, or as a philosopher, not even as a scientist or artist—look and listen, simply, like a child, for enjoyment, because the world is interesting and beautiful. Let in nature without the vast and complicated apparatus of duty, ambition, habit, morals, profession—look and listen like a child to the robin in the tree. Of such sights and sounds are the kingdom of beauty, the sources of power and joy.”
—David Grayson
