Medina Falls is a charming natural highlight just north of downtown Medina on Oak Orchard Creek. After the creek flows under the historic Erie Canal, it drops about 40 feet over limestone ledges to create a striking waterfall. You can easily view the falls right from the Erie Canalway Trail towpath, making it a peaceful stop for a short walk, great photos, or simply enjoying the sound of rushing water amid lush green surroundings. The falls are part of the area’s rich canal heritage — blending fascinating 19th-century engineering with serene nature scenes — and are free and open to the public year-round.
