Cleveland is known for many things, but the beautiful waterfront in Cleveland does not always get the publicity it deserves. The city has developed the waterfront on Lake Erie into a beautiful family place complete with ice cream stands, places to swim, ski boat rentals, bicycle paths and plenty of parks where you can just walk around or sit to have a picnic. There is a public ferry service to take you to other parts of the waterfront, and there are designated areas for you to set your fishing pole and just watch the world go by for an afternoon.
