lanterman's mill

This is nostalgia with nature walking bonus. Waterfalls and covered bridge right there with the old Millhouse. Can be fairly quick or leisure time in the woods.

This grist mill on Mill Creek is renovared to enjoy. Photography opportunities abound. A modest fee is charged to enter, and a park ranger is present to inform.

Combines history and nature, enjoyable for kids and adults alike. be sure to make use of the walking trails.

Love riding to Lanterman's mill and all through Mill Creek park. Stopping at the mill is a must so much history is here and they always have some sort of event going on at the mill. Best time for drive thru the park and stopping is fall and winter times. But spring and summer also as good but you get that true scenic picture during the fall and winter. There is alot to do in Mill Creek Park.

The Mill is beautiful in any season. Google it and you'll see many beautiful pictures. My personal favorite is the winter. The Saturday/Sunday after Thanksgiving always has an Old Time Christmas. People selling crafts, goods inside. Carolers, magicians, bagpipers outside. Chestnuts being roasted on an open fire. It's the perfect backdrop for getting in the spirit. However, the mill is beautiful any day of the year. Mill Creek Park itself is beautiful. Many trails to walk. This place is worth a trip to Youngstown.

The staff in the mill was very friendly, answering questions, we did not see the mill in operation because of it needing some repairs but did tour the building, found it very interesting and plan to go agi\ain to see it operate, well worth the time to explore.

This was a "break or rest stop" for us as we were traveling from NJ to MI along Rt 80. The park is a little hard to find but we did. I would like to go back and walk on some of the trails. Yesterday we were dazzled by the location of this beautiful mill and waterfall. AAA identifies this park as a "gem" and I would agree!

The area around this old grist mill is beautiful, any photographer from photo buff to pro, will find endless opportunities. there is also a history lesson here for those who are interested.

Check their website and plan your trip when you can tour the mill and see it in operation. There is a small fee. They have a gift shop inside and sell cornmeal they have ground. The buckwheat is good, too!

This is a vey old mill set in the locate park along a beautiful waterfalls. The tour is vey interesting and fun. You can buy the flour that is made there too.

The snow and ice certainly makes it a better sight. Seasonal activities and events make this a nice place to go to and enjoy.

You wouldn't expect to find beauty like this in the middle of a city but that's where it is. Several trails for walking and a covered bridge, as well as the mill make this a photographers dream. Lots of joggers. Spent 30 minutes here and didn't take the tour.

This little mill was the first on the Mahoning river here in Ohio and served the pioneers who came out of the Allegheny Mountain passes on their wagons west. Originally they stopped for salt and then the fresh milled grains. The mill is operational today with tours and product. Plus the various walking trails which lead around Lake Newport and west offer easy hikes and nice spots for picnics cared for in this urban setting by the Mill Creek Metropark staff. Parking just east of the bridge on Canfield Road.

Mill Creek Park is an absolute Delight. The shaded roadways are fantastic for biking, hiking or generally just walking around. The Garden is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon and of course then there is the 'Flats' with its Silver Bridge and Lanterman's MIll. The view from the bridge of the MIll at Canfield Road is a photographers dream the walk to the Mill from the parking lot across or under Canfield Road is only minutes away. The only problem I see that the mill has is the unsightly growth of Poison or Un-Poisoned SUMAC trees. Is this the state tree of Ohio or what? I see them growing wildly every where and anywhere a place has been abandoned, but really as much as this place is photographed you would really think they would keep it up a bit/lot better.

Visited Lanterman's Mill to take a nice hike. The trails were very well maintained and the setting was beautiful. Going onto the observations deck you would need to pay $1 but there is no other charge to visit the park. The park has a beautiful covered bridge that is just nice to take a break on and enjoy the surroundings. Will definitely make the a stop if were are ever in the area again.
