Lake Erie - Put In at Boat Ramp in the Rocky River Metropark reservation, it is 1 mile to beacon at then of the breakwall and then 6 miles to the Cleveland Water Crib. Overall 7 miles one way. You will need to exercise judgment on the lake conditions and keep an eye on boat traffic but you will get a treat of a unique view of downtown and if you time it right you will see one of the best sunsets in the North. This is an out and back trip of approximately 14 miles so be prepared for that.
