Paine Falls Park

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.

In 1974, the area was named Paine Falls and was dedicated as a park by Lake Metroparks.
