Located on the Aurora Branch of the Chagrin River, this waterfall is in the Centerville Mills Park in Bainbridge Township, Ohio. The waterfalls can be reached by parking at a well marked parking area on Crackel Road that is visible from State Route 306. Walk past the pond and over the bridge to a small gravel trail on your right. There are wooden steps leading down to a viewing area for the falls. The top of the steps is marked with a sign for no swimming, but by walking on the large rocks at the base of the step, it is possible to get behind the waterfalls.
The village of Centerville Mills was located in what is now Bainbridge Township in Geauga County, Ohio. In 1812 a mill was constructed on this stream. The mill was dismantled in 1932. The land was for many years a YMCA camp until being purchased by a local conservation agency. The camp was then sold to Bainbridge Township and converted into a passive park. This very scenic waterfall is a part of that park.
