Beautiful view of a couple waterfalls. Hiking trail. This place is multiple trip adventure. North side, south side and middle.

Took a nice tour through the mill . Was great to read the history of the building. Gift shop is cute also plenty of walking trails and beautiful views here.

Finally got the chance to get to the mill. Wonderful place to hike. Being in the urban area it is, you wouldn't think it'd be such a nice place but it's very nice very clean. Although my dog for some reason hates to hike these days, it's a great place to take your dog. So probably next time I will leave him home.

Lanterman Mill is one of my most favorite places in the world. Mill Creek Park, in general, is such a wonderful place. We were there on Saturday evening around 6 pm, and there were a couple of other people, but we mostly had the place to ourselves. The mill tours were closed that late, but exploring the trails is just as fun. Make sure to download the trail maps and figure out where you are on the map before you start exploring. Otherwise, you could end up having a pretty long trek back to your vehicle.

nice trails to walk, pretty mill. great view from the big bridge. not a far walk from the parking lot closest to the bridge. Great nature spot and incredibly happy to see the certified monarch waystation!!! that always gets points in my book as my yard is certified, too

Beautifully maintained piece of history on the inside for a small fee. Gift shop, and multiple floors to explore.

Amazing scenery on the outside for free!!
Waterfall, river, dsck overlooks, wooden bridge, and modern arch bridge.

PLUS...the trail head for the East Gorge trail starts here. Great quick trail with a waterfall/mill view, river, and rock formations.

This place was fascinating and the history of it going back to being picked up by the park system in 1888 is mind blowing. The staff was so friendly and informative. The working condition is so interesting to see up close. A working mill. Only two companies left in the country to service it. This is a great visit for kids who have an interest in mechanisms and history.

It's been several years since I was last here but I can say this time around was way better than the first time. Beautiful views and great pictures. I visited on March 5th and the sun was setting so I was able to get some really great photos of the mill and the falls. I didn't really hike much this trip but I'd try it in the spring or summer.
