(northeast Ohio, Lake Erie)
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.
