Chair Factory Falls waterfall hike
The beautiful 35-foot-tall Chair Factory Falls is found in Lake Metroparks along the Greenway Corridor hike and bike trail. It's best to come after some rain.
You can park at the Environmental Learning Center at 7250 Alexander Road, Concord Township, Ohio. Then hike on the Greenway Corridor for 0.3 miles to the Chair Factory Falls Trail, which is another 0.3 miles.
In this video you'll see the waterfall during springtime. I joined a Wine and cheese waterfall hike that the Lake Metroparks hosted. Check the link below for guided hikes and other activities put on by the Metroparks.

I hope you enjoy your waterfall hike to Chair Factory Falls. Don't forget your hiking boots because there's a steep decline on the way down to the overlook. - John
Freed Illegal Charged With Rape, Murder, Attempted Murder (Arraignment)
July 28, 2015 - Hear what Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael A. Cicconetti had to say to alleged rapist, murderer Juan Emmanuel Razo during his arraignment July 28 in Pville Muni Court. Razo is accused of rape and shooting spree along the Greenway Corridor on 7/28/15.
Lake County shooting suspect arraigned, bond set at $10M: PAINESVILLE, Ohio -- Alleged shooter Juan Emmanuel Razo was arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Painesville Municipal Court.
Judge Michael Cicconetti set his bond at $10 million and set Monday for a preliminary hearing.
Razo was charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a woman who was walking on the Greenway Corridor bike path with two children. She was shot in the left arm and was treated at TriPoint Medical Center.
Prosecutors and the Lake County Sheriff's Office said at the arraignment that they are expecting to further charge Razo with the attempted rape in Concord of a 14-year-old girl, the murder of Peggy Kostelnik in her home on Ravenna Road and with shooting at law enforcement officers when they tried to apprehend him Monday afternoon.
Prosecutors and the sheriff's deputies stated in court that Razo gave a full confession to deputies.
Razo was represented by a public defender who entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
The sheriff's department also recounted that on July 7, Razo was detained regarding a suspicious vehicle incident and that the U.S. Border Patrol agents told sheriff's deputies that he was here illegally from Mexico but border patrol agents refused to
Razo could not produce a driver's license, a green card, a birth certificate nor any kind of identification.
How in the hell do I even know it's him? Cicconetti said loudly.
When Cicconetti heard what the further charges were likely to be, he remarked I can't set a bond high enough and set it at $10 million.
Background

Police were called out to the scene on a report of an attempted rape of a 14-year-old girl. The suspect was the girl's uncle, Juan Emmanuel Razo, 35, of Painesville, who now faces an attempted murder charge.
Officials say he has no local criminal record, but his legal status remains in question. They anticipate he will face more charges as the investigation continues.
Peggy Kostelnik, 60, was found dead by her husband inside their home int he 6000 block of Ravenna Road, which is directly behind the Greenway area where another woman was shot in the arm.
A woman, who had two children with her while on the Greenway, was shot in the left arm. She was taken to TriPoint Medical Center for treatment of a gunshot wound to the arm.
Kostelnik worked as an assistant to the mayor for the City of Willoughby.

Residents should know that the danger is over and they may resume their normal activities.
Just before 5 p.m. Monday, WKYC's crew watched as Painesville police officers -- with guns drawn -- were headed into the Metroparks at the intersection of SR 84 and Liberty Street.
The Concord Fire Department tells WKYC that the woman on the Greenway was taken to TriPoint Medical Center in Concord with a gunshot wound to the left arm.
WKYC's Dawn Kendrick was at the scene and says that the woman told authorities that she heard gunshots and screamed, Don't shoot, don't shoot, I have kids.
Neither of the children were hurt.
