Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / June 2006Cleveland - Lake Erie recommendation?
I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming vacation. The stretch of I-90 east of cleveland near the lake is about the half way point on our trip, and I'd like to stop and let the family stretch their legs for an hour or two. Can anyone recommend perhaps a park along that route that would have nice views, and a place to walk around,etc... Thanks in advance for any suggestions!! > I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming > vacation.

Thompson Ledges is just a little way from I-90, roughly 50 miles east of Cleveland. It's quite scenic, or at least it was when I lived nearby, about 25 years ago! For directions, see <http://hikingohioparks.com/thompson-ledges-park-hiking-ohio-parks.html>. It's on Route 528, just south of I-90. > I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming > vacation.

Presque Isle State Park just outside Erie Pa is about half way and is rather pretty as I recall http://www.presqueisle.org/general_information.html Keith >I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming >vacation.

One would have to take SR 2 from Wickliffe and go north for quite a distance from Mentor or Painesville. >I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming >vacation.

We go there twice a year from the N Falls area. Great place to stretch your legs & windowshop. Free parking at Giant Eagle. The falls are very pretty and there's a park along the Chagrin river as well, right in town. To get there take 480 from 271. If you have the time take Washington St East to 306. Very nice drive to I-90. Unfortunately there's not much in the way of parks on L. Erie but again, if you have the time, take 306 to 2/20 for a more scenic drive than I-90. > Unfortunately there's not much in the way of parks on L.

Not MUCH more scenic, though! > I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming > vacation.

If you like historic tourism, the James A Garfield National Historic Site is in Mentor, about 30 miles east of Cleveland, and a couple of miles off I90: http://www.nps.gov/jaga/  SignatureJoe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe > I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming > vacation.

Hi there is a theme park nearby I stoped their years ago I find crossing into Canada at Detroit taking the 401/403 is quicker than staying in the US Visit Ford Museum in Detroit when in Niagara Falls check these links http://discoverniagara.com/attractions/main/ http://www.ontariotravel.net/TcisCtrl?site=consumers&key1=destinations&key2=GTA& language=EN http://www.accessniagara.com/blog/index.php http://www.niagara.edu/library/nfguides/rand.html OH make sure you see the falls at sundown under the lights best view is from the Canada side enjoy the visit >> I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming >> vacation. >> Visit Ford Museum in Detroit He should go from Dayton to Niagara Falls through DETROIT? C'mon! >>> I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming >>> vacation. > >>> Visit Ford Museum in Detroit > > He should go from Dayton to Niagara Falls through DETROIT? C'mon! It's only 26 miles and 45 minutes longer. Why not it works out about the same. >>>> I'm driving from Dayton Ohio (SW ohio) to Niagara falls on an upcoming >>>> vacation.

The OP said he'd "like to stop and let the family stretch their legs for an hour or two" at some place ALONG the route. And you're saying they should make a side trip to Detroit and spend most of a day visiting a museum? C'mon! |
