Clevelanders have a love for Mother Nature that few other major U.S. cities can match. The natural splendor of the North Coast and the surrounding area have truly spoiled us when it comes to stunning outdoor beauty. But just outside of the Forest City, another town threatens to take the top spot when it comes to remarkable natural wonder.
Avon Lake is a small city of roughly 20,000 residents perched on the shore of Lake Erie. The beautiful coastline and the incredible natural splendor all over the city combine to make it the perfect place for any lover of the great outdoors.
You can see Lake Erie from a whole new perspective, as the entire town runs parallel to the shore, offering unmatched access to the wonders of the Great Lakes.
Unforgettable views, like this one found at Veterans Park, are pretty much the norm in Avon Lake. Every day, you're guaranteed to see something truly wonderful in nature.
Lush greenery fills much of Avon Lake's 11.13 square miles, making it a nature-lover's dream. From lush forestry to rolling meadows, there's a little bit of everything packed into this small town.
The city's extensive public parks program means there's no shortage of fantastic spots hidden throughout the city where you can take in everything that makes the great outdoors great.
Avon Lake is also home to one of the few genuinely sandy beaches you'll find on this part of the Lake Erie coastline, making it a fantastic place to relax and cool off in the summer months.
The lakeshore locale makes Avon Lake the ideal setting for a variety of activities, including fishing, boating, or simply lazing on the banks of the North Coast.
There's no better way to end a day than watching the sunset cast brilliant orange light onto the sparkling waters of Lake Erie, and Lake Avon may just be the best place in Ohio to experience this lovely natural phenomenon.
