Nice walk in the trees. We saw a Bald Eagle!Bathrooms were nice.
The spot I went to seemed nice. Definitely pretty. We were just looking for some sort of way to visit the beach since the State Park was closed on Sunday, and this was a close location that showed up thanks to Google Maps.I think there might be some really good walking trails because we passed another parking lot further down from the spot we ended up at.There was a big wooden set of steps to walk down that ran right into the beach. Not too much room to spread out on the sand, and it was a little cluttered with nature debris like large sticks, but it was awesome to walk next to the waves coming in. My mom actually got in the water since she was wearing her swimsuit but she didnt go out too far in fear of a strong current. Some other small kids were playing in the water too though, so it might have been fine.
Love taking pictures at Lake Erie Bluffs! A pretty secluded area.
This is a beautiful spot to go to Lake Erie Bluffs of Perry groomed trails to Wilderness parking a pavilion and observation towers it woods and brush but you see nature and animals everywhere I highly recommend to checking this place out I didnt get down to the beach by the stairs they put in way to go Metro Park
Wonderful spot regardless the season. My favorite place in lake county.
One of the best places in Lake county to see lake Erie. The bonus is you can see it up above from the bluff OR down below right on the beach. Great too if you want a hike without hills, elevation.
Excellent views. Trails crushed stone. Some hills. Fairly easy to walk. The beach is very cool
Nice place to hike. Beautiful views of the lake. Many of the trails above the lake have been washed away.
Beautiful place to watch the sunset over Lake Erie.
Great views of Lake Erie! Especially sunsets and when storms arrive from the west or north. There are really nice trails and a pavilion. There is also access to the beach.
Absolutely beautiful. If you keep your eye open and youll see bald eagles. Nice trails. Theres a campsite that you can reserve.
Beautiful, serene area.
Best place to go running different paths to take, very scenic, and you get a view of the waterfront too. Great place to watch the sunset from either the beach or the tower high above
Have not been there yet. It looks beautiful, can not wait to go there !!
The hiking trails are excellent with beautiful lake views and if youre lucky you can see some bald eagles
Nice views. Decent amount of trails. Very crowded all the time.
Saw 5 eagles! Campsite B is the best.... beautiful views and nice privacy. Stocked with wood too for camping
Eagles soar, and the tide sounds-- like a lullaby in this panoramic embrace along the north east banks of the lake
If sign says dont go on path, I recommend you listen. We did not, along the shoreline and ended up paying the price.
Very nice view, clean, love the pavilion area....need to increase beach size...great job metro. parks....
Awesome park never ceasing to amaze me how well they keep it maintained and always new improvements .
Great Park. Beautiful sunset over the Lake
Observation tower is huge, nice lake front walking trail about 4 miles, scenic
Lake was beautiful and park has colorful trails filled with birds galore!
Great place to walk or play Pokémon go if you are so inclined. :)
Amazing sunsets! Could be an amazing star gazing stop if they put red caps on the lights.
The most beautiful sunsets
Nice views and a variety of trails to walk.
Dramatic views while you hike, and you might see Eagles! Dog beach access too.
Had a great walk along the trails and enjoyed the sunshine

2021-09-12Another great Lake Metropark. Whether you want to sit on a bench and look at Lake Erie and listen to the waves, have a picnic on one of the scattered tables or in the pavilion, take a nice walk on level crushed gravel paths, or watch a sunset, this is the perfect place for those activities.The walking paths take you through wooded areas, grassy areas overlooking the lake, and areas with Meadows and wild bushes that are nice for bird watching or observing butterflies. If you pay attention you might even see some bald eagles by the shoreline.There is a very nice pavilion with restrooms. Across from the pavilion you will see a set of steps that go down to the lake. The steps are not very steep and there are four or five small landings on the way down so it isnt too hard to get down next to the water. However the very last step is a lot higher when you climb back up from the beach. At the bottom you will see a lot of large rocks for erosion control and a small sandy strip that has quite a few rocks and sticks, so its not great to use as a beach but more as a place to get a little closer to the water and observe the lake for a bit.

2021-07-06This was my first time here but it wont be the last. We just came to have a picnic lunch. The view is beautiful and, on this day, there were very few visitors. It almost felt like we had the park to ourselves.

2020-10-24Beautiful trails and topography. Lovely fall foliage today, 10/24/2020, and just the right amount of people. Lots of migrating birds. They have two overnight campsites (permit needed), and a lovely building that looks like it can be rented.

2020-09-23Two great camping spots. Be sure to bring a wagon, as the parking lot is kind of far from the sites.

2019-08-11Beautiful place to watch a sunset. Great trails and a watch tower to climb. With the water in the lake high at this time don’t expect much beach to walk on so bring those water shoes.

2021-09-26Another great Lake Metroparks park. What we like about this place is the varied path differences between the west and east ends of the park. The west end is mostly flat and in the sun with a two reasonably isolated camp sites. The east end is mostly tree covered with some hills and a bridge over a small creek that is near the lake. There is a nice shelter/pavilion at the west lot along with a gorgeous view of the lake. There is beach access on both sides offering a lovely view of Lake Erie.
