Visiting Paine Falls Park - Painesville, Ohio
I revisited Paine Falls Park in Painesville, Ohio to see what beauty these falls had from my memories the last time I visited well over 10 years ago. Nice small park with overlooks to the falls area and some small walking areas but no hiking trails.
PARK HISTORY
Colonel Hendrick Paine, nephew of Edward Paine, founder of Painesville, moved his family from Parkman, Ohio, in 1818 to this little valley. It became known as “Paine’s Hollow.” Paine built a log cabin on the terrace on the north side of the valley.
With the planning and financial help of his son’s (Elazer A. Paine) father-in-law, Samuel Phelps, Paine carried out the industrial development of Paine’s Hollow. He first built a sawmill. In the years that followed, many other industries came to the Hollow. By 1840, valley businesses included an iron forge and furnace, a tannery, a shoemaker, a blacksmith shop and a wagon maker. An ashery was built to produce lye for soap and potash production. The area also included several houses and a school for local children.
By 1850, surrounding forests had been felled and prosperity began to decline. With the lumber supply gone and new technological advances, water power was no longer needed. The area fell to ruin and many of the settlers moved to neighboring cities. In 1974, the area was named Paine Falls and was dedicated as a park by Lake Metroparks.

MAPLE SUGARING WEEKENDS OHIO!!! Northeast Ohio Maple events and things to do.
The first two weekends in March in Ohio is when our state starts to thaw and we celebrate Maple Sugaring Weekends in Northeast Ohio. Maple Sugar Farms offer tours, demonstrations and samples of their maple syrup products. We do our best to visit as many sugarhouses as we can. And we are giving you our top 5 maple sugaring events in Ohio.
Here is our list of Northeast Ohio Maple events and things to do during MAPLE SUGARING WEEKENDS IN OHIO!!!
5. Ma and Pa's Cabin and Sleigh Rides in Parkman, Ohio We were not able to do the horse drawn sap collecting because everything was still very frozen, but we did get to do the magical horse drawn sleigh through the woods. When our sleigh ride was over, we hit their retail shop and got to sample the maple products they were selling and ate some warm pancakes by the fire.
4. Swine Creek Reservation, Middlefield Ohio Geauga Park District. Sap's-A-Risin' is their event. Where volunteers show guests how collecting, gathering, and boing down sap has evolved since Native American first discovered sap.
3. Seldom Seen Farm in Montville Township is a first generation farming family that made our list for their unique and delicious products. Our favorite being their Bourbon Barrel aged maple syrup. They buy old Bourbon barrels from a distillery in Kentucky and let their sweet product sit and soak in the Bourbon flavors of the Barrels.
2 Sugarbush Creek Farm in Huntsburgh Ohio. This family owned maple farm made our list for the thorough tour of how a modern day sugar house in run
Honorable mentions are Hershey Montisory School. Where the students run the Maple syrup production.
West Wood Nature Centers Maple SugART event. Where local artists Upcycle old used sap collecting buckets and make beautiful art.
Chardon Squares Maple Stirs. Maple Stirs have been a Chardon Ohio tradition since 1926. Maple stirs in Chardon oho is my families favorite way to eat the sweet stuff
and Richard's Maple a maple store that has been open for 100 years and has the worlds largest collection of maple products.
1, Our #1 spot goes to Lake MetroParks Lake Farm Parks in Kirtland Ohio. This park is open year round and shows guests farm life. In March they also participate in Maple Sugaring events with their own sugar house where they teach guests the process of boiling down sap into syrup. Its a family event that is very popular, not to mention all the cute Spring baby animals on this working farm. But this made our list because of it's adult maple syrup wine dinner. Horse Drawn carriage brings adult guest to their sugar house where they are served maple orderves, wine from a local Ohio vineyard and learn about Maple Syrup Production. A tractor then took guests up the the Lake Metroparks Farm Parks Plant house where a multi course maple inspired dinner was served with wine pairing.
Maple sugaring weekends in Ohio should not be missed. It is a must do in Ohio in the beginning of Spring. Please comment with any other Maple events or things to do we may have missed.
