Huntington Beach
If you are interested in Cleveland Metroparks, one highly recommended section is the Huntington Reservation. Huntington Reservation was added to Cleveland Metroparks in 1925. It is located in Bay Village on the shore of Lake Erie. Popular activities include hiking, swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Three miles of nature trail wind through the park and beach area are available for any local short term rentals.
Waterfront Parks
Located at the intersection of Belle & Lake Avenues is one of the best parts of Lakewood. Wherever your short term rental might be, Lakewood won’t be too far. Lakewood Park has a huge pool, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, a new spacious playground, and an even newer addition: the solstice steps. These concrete steps span about 480 feet of shoreline and give onlookers a beautiful view of Lake Erie. This park is very walkable, scenic, and full of recreational activities.
Miller Road Park
Miller Road Park is just 15 miles west of Cleveland and packs a lot into only 14.7 acres. It has walkable, bike-friendly paths that overlook scenic Lake Erie. A popular fishing pier is located here as well as a well-maintained boat launch that opens every spring. A gazebo on the property hosts free summer concerts and a large pavilion is available for private events and picnics.
