Fleming Falls Preserve

About this Location

LIMITED HOURS: The preserve is open only on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from dawn to dusk, at least through November of 2022.

Fleming Falls Preserve, a 183-acre park at the site of the former Camp Mowana, opened to the public in September 2022. 

Since the preserve is not yet fully open, it still does not have a new or official address. To get there, use the old Camp Mowana address: 2276 Fleming Falls Road, Mansfield, OH 44903. The new parking area is just to the east of this address on a Google map search: 2294 Fleming Falls Road, Mansfield, OH 44903. Google Street View will show an old house that has been demolished.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING: The preserve is open DAWN to DUSK. No one should be in the preserve after dark. Cars must be out of the parking lot at dark or risk being locked in, or towed at the owner's expense.

 Please park in the public parking area which is located just past the old entrance. Do not try to enter through the closed and chained silver gate. The gate to the new parking area will be open.

A portable toilet is located in the parking lot at the entrance to the preserve. There are currently no trash cans or trash removal. Please pack out what you pack in.

For your safety, please stay on the marked trails. Maps are available to help guide visitors around the property. There is a designated observation platform for viewing the main Fleming Falls waterfall. Please do not attempt to use old trails or walk down into the ravine where the main waterfall is located. Please do not enter the streams, especially the areas above and below the main waterfall.

Picnic shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will not be taking reservations for any sites, buildings, or locations, for the foreseeable future. Again, please remove any trash from the preserve. We hope that everyone enjoys the limited access to this new park district property and we hope to have it fully open in the near future.
