Mill Creek Falls is a 48-foot waterfall in Cleveland, the tallest in Cuyahoga County. It was moved from its original course over a century ago for a railroad. Cleveland Metroparks runs a small overlook at The Yard at Mill Creek Falls, reached off Warner Road, with a viewing deck at two heights. In winter, when The Yard lot is closed, Go Waterfalling suggests parking at Garfield Park Reservation and walking 1.5 miles.
