Explore beyond the waterfall and see some of the other interesting features along the gorge and creek.

Plan for a night out on the town at the Akron Civic Theatre, one of the last remaining atmospheric theaters in the county. A redesigned movie theater which first opened in the 1920s, the current Civic Theatre is now regarded as one of the best stages for touring Broadway, concert and dance performances in the state.
