- 		The 134.5-acre Edgewater Park is the westernmost park in the Cleveland Lakefront State Park system. Located north of Cleveland Memorial Shoreway (U.S. routes 6 and 20 and State Route 2), this site features upper and lower sections connected by the paved Cleveland Lakefront Bikeway and a fitness course.

Edgewater’s upper, western section is on Cliff Drive and accessible from West Boulevard. The expansive, partially-shaded green space is primarily a picnic grounds with trails, and has a 0.46-mile bluff overlooking Lake Erie. This upper section is separated from the lower by a large sloping hill, popularly used for sledding during winter.

Edgewater’s lower, eastern section is accessible via an exit ramp off the Shoreway. The lower park includes a half-mile sand beach; the easternmost 900 feet of which are groomed, and 400-feet-wide. Two picnic shelters and a bathhouse are located between the beach and an expansive parking lot.

North of the parking lot, an open mowed grass field is used for, among other activities, flying kites. A second parking lot and a concession stand are closer to the shore. This area of Edgewater is protected from erosion by a 2,360-foot revetment/seawall which provides fishing access as does a 200-foot fishing pier.

The disjoined eight-lane Edgewater Boat Ramp is located off Ed Hauser Way just east of Edgewater Marina. The boat launch has an L-shaped tie-up dock and two parking lots within walking distance. Fishing is permitted in this area.		 Location Map:
