5. Frank Mills Riveredge Park.
Address: 497 Middlebury Rd, Kent, OH 44240
Frank Mills Riveredge Park is a trial in Kent, OH next to the railroad truck. The trial is beautiful and runs by a river. It leads to this breathtaking place that has a waterfall running into the river. It has places for fishing and walking above the waterfall. The best way I describe it is the Kent pit. It's one of the best trials Kent, OH has and is a great place to get away to.
