About Crowell Hilaka Lake
Crowell Hilaka of Richfield, Ohio, is 336 acres of winding streams, lakes, and wooded uplands. It was farmed by the pioneer Oviatt family and then became the estate of inventor Jim Kirby. During the 1920s, Kirby constructed a patented lake, a mill to generate electric power, a house air-conditioned with spring water, and a dance hall built on springs. Upstream, the Neal family built their fairytale mansions and operated a thriving fruit farm. The land was purchased by the Cleveland Girl Scouts in 1937 and enclosed for the protection of the girls. As time passed, few in Richfield remembered the beautiful estates.

In 2015, the property was purchased by the citizens of Richfield. It is being transformed into a park for public enjoyment.

The grounds of Crowell Hilaka are open seven days a week from 7 AM to 7 PM. Enter on the north side (Broadview Road, next to the Giant Eagle). The buildings are not yet open, and other areas are also closed for safety reasons. From Crowell Hilaka Lake (Friends of Crowell Hilaka) website
