| Huntington Reservation of Cleveland Metroparks
Huntington Reservation is located in Bay Village on the shores of Lake Erie.
Picnic areas high above the beach offer visitors opportunities to enjoy the
striking and ever-changing lake views. Breakwalls allow anglers to fish in
Lake Erie in all seasons. The reservation is also home to three Cleveland
Metroparks affiliates, Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, Huntington
Playhouse and Baycrafters.
One of the oldest reservations in Cleveland Metroparks, it still contains
many unusual botanical specimens brought here from Europe by John
Huntington, the previous owner and reservation namesake. The Huntington
Water Tower, a well-known landmark, was used to pump water from the lake to
irrigate Mr. Huntington's fields of grapes. |
