East Harbor State Park is a public recreation area located eight miles (13 km) northwest of
wildlife preserve areas. The park offers swimming, boating and fishing, ten miles (16 km) of multi-use trails, picnicking, hunting, and disc golf.[2]
Beach
A thin stretch of sand beach juts northward into the waters of Lake Erie, separating Middle Harbor from the lake. Part of this beach was damaged in 1972 by a storm washing away a large section of the two-mile (3 km) beach. The current beach is a much smaller area to the north of the park, where swimming is permitted.[3] Four segmented offshore breakwaters have been constructed on the northern section of beach, to sustain what is left of the sandy shoreline.[4]
