The Lake Erie Bluffs Observation Tower Is Open

The new observation tower has finally opened at Lake Erie Bluffs, part of the Lake Metroparks system. The weather was comfortably cool,  there was a stiff breeze,  and it was sunny - perfect for viewing the surrounding area.  The tower steps are easy to navigate and the top of the tower has plenty of room.   The Fairport Harbor West lighthouse at Mentor Headlands was easily visible. The birds seemed to be hiding today,  but quite a few monarch butterflies were flying around the trails.  Here are a few photos.

Lake Erie Bluffs On A Beautiful Morning

It was a beautiful day today, and a perfect day to take a morning walk through the Lake Metroparks' Lake Erie Bluffs in Perry, Ohio. We visited both sections of the park and saw many birds and butterflies. There were almost no waves on Lake Erie, and little wind. The sky was painted with wispy cirrus clouds, making for delightful pictures. Here are a few!

Lake Erie Bluffs – Lake Metroparks

Located in the eastern end of Lake County in Perry Township Ohio is the new Lake Erie Bluffs park, another fine park in the Lake Metroparks system. It is almost 140 acres in total, roughly 20 acres  located right on the lakefront with a pristine, undisturbed beach. This will be a great area for bird watching during migrations. Here are a few photos I took while visiting there this past Saturday.(Click on any image to open larger size in photo viewer.)
