Confirmed from Mill Creek Park - North End's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
A 2,657 acre riverside park, open since 1891, with waterfalls, a gorge & 15 miles of walking trails.

This is such a beautiful park. Lots of trails with a variety of difficulty. Lantern Mill is gorgeous and a must see. I took the East Gorge trail mostly a natural trail I would say easy to moderate. Beautiful views all along the way. I'll definitely return to check out the other trails here.
Fun little Christmas Eve hike. Lots of trails and different directions to take. Gorgeous bridges, rock formations, waterfalls. Dog friendly. Clean and overall a very nice park.
The best part of Youngstown. All of the trails offer something different. Parking is always easy and the facilities are great to rent for events. Make sure to check out the mill if it's open, the staff is very knowledgeable and loves discussing Valley history.
This park is absolutely beautiful. There are many things to do here. This includes the hiking trails, paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, playgrounds, and also Splash playgrounds or wet playgrounds. There are also trolley tours called the Cohasset Express.
