Anyone have any idea of what it looks like now? It should be nice at this time of the year, but with the dry weather in the southern part of Ohio, it might be a crapshoot for color.
For various reasons, I don't want to make the drive down there if I am not going to pull the camera out.

where is this mill?

Mill Creek Metro Park, Canfield Ohio.
It is actually spelled Lanterman's Mill (2 n's rather than the 3 I used).

With the rain the Mill up there in Youngstown might be worth the trip---its about 1 hour from the CVNP. If it hadn't rain the water coming over the falls would be minimal, but might be OK now.
BEWARE--its not is a great area...Tom Scherwin had lots of gear stolen from his car while shooting the mill. Only carry what you need. This image was taken in the spring about a year or 2 ago---shot with a 20mm ( 30mm with my D200 from the bridge --street level).

Fall color in Mill Creek Park is at peak, although the color this fall is not quite as good as in other years. We have had rain this week (the first in a month), so the water flow will be good. To see the mill in fall, go here:

Let me add that I was sorry to hear about Tom's loss. I have heard of problems with break-ins at the Mill parking lot, but I believe the Park recently installed some security cameras. I have also personally parked there probably more than 100 times over the years without incident.
In addition to the Mill, the trails through the gorge, leading north 1 mile to an historic 100 year old suspension bridge as well south to the covered bridge and Lake Newport, are quite nice, although the trees going north through the gorge are predominantly hemlocks. (Also, the suspension bridge is currently being renovated.) There is plenty of fall color elsewhere in the Park.
