Why you should go…

This Cleveland Metroparks lakefront gem serves up 2,400 feet of swimming beach, a fishing pier, paved trails, and the single best skyline photo op in the city, especially at sunset behind the giant Cleveland script sign. Summer brings beach days and food trucks; winter brings dramatic frozen-lake scenery. It's free, and it's quintessential Cleveland.
