INTRODUCTION
The Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve is an
88-acre man-made peninsula on the Lake Erie
shoreline in the heart of Cleveland. It is a former
confined disposal facility that was opened to the
public for passive recreation in 2012.
CLNP is open to the public daily from dawn until
dusk for passive recreational use including hiking
and bird watching, as well as for research and
educational uses. The preserve is managed by
the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority
and includes over 2.5 miles of trails that circle the
perimeter of the preserve and pass through
the wooded and wildflower habitats.
The primitive walking trails include
a 1.75-mile Perimeter Loop Trails, a
0.25-mile Monarch Trail, and a 0.5-mile
Northern Harrier Trail that bisects the
preserve.
