It is also home to Lower Girard Lake and Upper Girard Lake. In 1931, two lakes were formed when Squaw Creek was dammed, covering land once used for mining and farming. Upper Girard Lake is wrapped by Price Field, a large park ideal for wildlife viewing.

Other nearby destinations include Wagon Trails Animal Park, Old Avalon Golf Course, and Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.
