Unfortunately we didn't find any glass this trip, but the park itself was really nice. We loved the boardwalk to the beach, and appreciated how clean and plentiful the bathrooms were near the concession stand.

Besides a very clean pond filled with beautiful water fowl , there is also a small Japanese garden at the top of a steep hill that overlooks the pond. I don't know about you, but swans are a very rare occurrence in my sheltered world so being able to see two up close was awesome! There is a large shelter house in the very back of the park that provides a clean, uncluttered view of Lake Erie. Right now there are Christmas decorations if you're into viewing holiday lights. This is easily one of the cleanest parks I've ever visited. Although it is NOT DOG FRIENDLY, I would encourage you to bring the rest of the family.

On trails I've seen birds of all different colors, eagle, deer, rabbits, fox, snakes, toads, butterflies, and owls. All wildlife seen are amazing! The trails are gravel and well maintained. There are two ways to access the beach and you are able to walk the length of it, swim, sit ect. Two Rentable campsites and 1 rentable pavilion with heat, water and bathrooms. There is also a separate restroom near the lookout tower. Trails I break down to four. A more open air one that can get hot if walking in the summer. A wooded one that is sheltered by trees, keeping you cooler. The beach trail and a smaller grass trail where you are likely to see butterflies and deer.

This patch of green offers a nice playground for young children, a pretty outdoor pavilion that overlooks the beautiful blue waters of the lake & there's even a deck on the side of the shelter house for all to enjoy! It has nice grills if you're picnicking too. There's plenty of shade & equal amounts of sun, lots of parking & my personal fav. -it's dog friendly! It's also large enough to play a game of soccer or football. It's not far from the main strip so you can easily grab food & bring it back to enjoy as well. The perfect escape from the crowded sidewalks & noisy environment.

There is a long stairway from the main street down to the falls. There are areas to stop and rest, it is a long walk down and back up.

Do you love hiking and bird watching? That is there too. Historic lighthouses? Historic markers? Great lookout points? Those are all there too. They even have boat rides. This is a great place to spend time as a family, have a romantic date, hang out or get some exercise. The beaches have a variety of facilities and have different types of beach experiences depending on where you are. It is worth a drive to feel like you are getting a beach getaway closer to home. I highly recommend a visit here.

Roderick Reserve is a 3,600-acre natural area on the Lake Erie shoreline, adjacent to Erie Bluffs State Park. Prior to becoming a nature reserve, the property was owned by Andrew Carnegie and, later, U.S. Steel Corp. Forty-nine percent of the site is wetlands. Aspen, American Beech, White Oak, Sugar Maple, and Silky Dogwood make up a majority of the forested area. Red and Silver maple grow vigorously in wooded swamps. Increasingly surrounded by development, the site will likely become more important in the future as an "island" of habitat. It is considered by the Audobon Society as an important and significant bird area.

The park itself serves as a historical landmark for the Hulett Ore Unloader machine, which was invented in the late 1800's by Clevelander, George H. Hulett, and was used in the Great Lakes during that time. Part of a machine is on display at the park! Also, at this park, there is a Merchant Marine Memorial which pays tribute to notable people who were involved with the harbor. Many of the park benches are dedicated and there is a path where each brick is dedicated to a person, business, or group from the area. Point Park does need some TLC and upkeep, though. There's some trash around and kids have started to deface the Hulett machine with graffiti, which is sad. But, overall, this is a nice, quiet park to enjoy with family, watch the boats go by, and learn some history on the area.
