A trip back to Ohio would not be complete without a visit to the Cleveland Metroparks. Late one afternoon we took a short walk in the Mill Stream Run Reservation which is just minutes from downtown Berea.
Located in the park is Wallace Lake, the site of one of the quarries that made Berea the "Sandstone Capital of the World" in the late 1800s. In 1941, after the quarries had been closed, the site was flooded to create a lake.
Just across the parkway is Baldwin Lake, A dam across the end of the lake has created a small horseshoe waterfall.
Northern Ohio has been suffering from a drought this summer, and as you can see from the photo, there is just a trickle of water falling over the dam.
