Located about 2 miles southwest of Covington, Ohio, the Greenville Falls State Scenic River Area is easy to miss but unforgettable once you find it. The gorgeous, 20 foot cascading waterfall is worth the trip along! Greenville Creek is a 44 mile tributary of the Stillwater River. It starts in eastern Randolph County, Indiana. Before joining the Stillwater River in Covington, the creek drops 20 feet in a glacially cut gorge, AKA the amazing waterfall.

The area has an interesting history, which you can read about on interpretative signs on your way to view the falls. In 1897, a man named R.M. Albery and his sons built a dam across Greenville Creek. They constructed a hydroelectric power plant (one of the first in the state of Ohio) to supply Covington with electricity. The plant later supplied electricity to nearby Pleasant Hill and Ludlow Falls. In addition to the interpretative sign which tells about the history of the area, visitors can also see remnants of the wooden dam, the Albery Mill, an ice house, turbine towers and sluice gates and runs.

Other features of this area, which encompasses 92 acres, includes a nearly 1 mile hiking trail which goes along the creek and through a prairie, a picnic area and a fishing area. While we were viewing the falls we saw some people enjoying the creek via kayak!

My favorite part of this area is the wooden platform which overlooks the falls. The way the platform is situated provides a fantastic view of the falls. I love the sound of the falling water, it’s so soothing!

A nice spot for a scenic detour. They have parking for about 6 or so cars in a small lot so you can get in off of the road. Its a short walk, maybe a block or two, over flat ground down a mowed path to a new deck built overlooking the falls. There are a couple of park benches here to sit and enjoy the sites and sounds of the falls. Pets are allowed on leashes.
