Geocache Description:

The beautiful waterfall locally known as Chair Factory Falls is a natural feature now accessible by a recently installed pedestrian trail off of Lake Metroparks Greenway Corridor (bike trail) in Concord Township.

Although there are no longer any remnants of the chair factory, nor the previous one that was first built here on Jordan Creek, the hike to this lovely spot is well worth the long and somewhat steep descent.

Lake Metroparks recently developed this trail after the land was acquired by the park system. The project was made possible by the donation of 4.5 acres of land by Laura MacMillan Crago, Johanna Bates, and Julia MacMillan in loving memory of George V. Bates, III and Susan Bates MacMillan.

Greenway Bike Trail map here for those who plan to bike the trail and then walk 0.3 miles to the cache.

Trail is packed firm with fine gravel for easy walking but the uphill return trip may be tiring for some. Benches are placed along the trail. There is a bike rack at the trail head where you can secure your bike before visiting the falls.

Thanks to LMP for issuing a permit for this cache. Please adhere to the park policy and stay on the trails. Do not cross any fences. Park closes at dusk.

Closest parking access is at Concord Township’s Old Stone School at 7125 Ravenna Rd. (500 feet north of Route 608). The round trip hike will be a bit over a mile from this parking area.
