Lake Metroparks worked with various local conservation partners to complete a detailed study of the Lake Erie Bluffs site and together they produced a conceptual master plan that illustrated how conservation, recreation and economic development can all be sustained within and around the project area. Lake Metroparks works to manage valuable habitats that are capable of providing food, water, shelter and space that all wild animals need in order to survive and thrive. Since these habitats are found in such short supply throughout Lake County, they are important areas for conservation. Meadows and old fields in Lake Metroparks offer refuge to many species of wildlife. Ticks have been found in this park and are part of the natural environment. Lake Erie Bluffs provides public access to Lake Erie and protects habitat used by rare species including: Annual fluctuations in water levels and even one severe storm can wipe out a population of plants or bring in new seeds or roots to establish new plant communities. Skateboards and bikes are not allowed on the tower or decks.Ĭlick here for more information.

The beach area hosts trees, shrubs and small plants including the majority of the park’s rare plants. The mix of 40-foot-high beach bluffs and open sandy and cobble beach across 9,000 feet of shoreline are the site’s dominant features. The property permanently protects a significant amount of wetland, meadow and mostly undeveloped lakefront habitat used by rare and common plant and animal species. Lake Erie Bluffs is nationally significant.
