A Trip to Lake Erie Bluffs - Lake MetroParks - Perry, Ohio

My trip and experience at Lake Erie Bluffs in Perry, Ohio. Lots of nice views of Lake Erie and all kinds of trails to hike on. A very nice tower to climb and terrific views from atop!

Lake Erie Bluffs is nationally significant. The property permanently protects a significant amount of wetland, meadow and mostly undeveloped lakefront habitat used by rare and common plant and animal species. The mix of 40-foot-high beach bluffs and open sandy and cobble beach across 9,000 feet of shoreline are the site’s dominant features. The beach area hosts trees, shrubs and small plants including the majority of the park’s rare plants.
Visitors can enjoy low-impact recreational activities such as hiking and fishing at this park. Improvements made to enhance public use include parking lots, a reservable three-season shelter, restrooms and installation of gravel trails with scenic overlooks and access to a natural beach along Lake Erie.
50-FOOT COASTAL OBSERVATION TOWER
The 50-foot coastal observation tower at Lake Erie Bluffs is situated overlooking the lakeshore with multiple viewing platforms along a staircase that culminates in a deck featuring 360-degree-views. The height and location of the tower provide visitors with a unique view of the lake and the surrounding woods, fields and wetlands, along with a variety of wildlife-particularly a large number of bald eagles that are regularly seen at the park. The tower is accessible during regular park hours 6 am to 11 pm.

I climbed up this giant tower with a friend years ago, maybe around 2016, 2017? Recently, I've been thinking of this park and have been wanting to go back, because I remember it being such a beautiful place. I could not for the life of me remember where it is, I just remembered you could see a power plant's cooling towers from the top. After a LOT of searching, I came across this YT video and wanted to see if it would show those cooling towers so I could know if this was the right spot, so thank you for showing the Perry power plant towers, and thank you for making this lovely video! You helped me rediscover a gorgeous destination that has a nice nostalgic memory attached to it for me. You did a great job really showing around the park area with detail and wonderful shots, thanks for posting this.
