Of Ohio's 262 miles of Lake Erie shoreline
it is estimated that only about 40 are open for access by the
public - and a lot fewer than that are open to your dog so that
makes this park east of Cleveland in North Perry Village a very
special place indeed for dog owners.
The slight park is tucked on the shoreline
with a staircase on either end that reaches down to a sandy beach
about three or four beach blankets wide. The highlight in the
84-acre park for your dog is this driftwood-littered beach where
strong swimming dogs will love the challenge of Lake Erie waves
crashing onto shore.
Back on top of the bluffs the short, groomed trails in Lakeshore
Reservation have a garden-like feel. The principal private landowner,
Charles Irish, was a pioneering arborist who spotted non-native
ornamental trees and shrubs around his home amidst the typical
Ohio beeches and maples.
