Starting out in the protected water of the Rocky River, we’ll journey out to Lake Erie, and–sea conditions permitting–paddle offshore for a view of the Cleveland skyline. Our return trip will take us westward along the impressive cliffs of the Lakewood coast.

Duration: 3 hrs (2 hrs paddling)

-
A spectacular river valley with impressive shale and limestone cliffs; riverfront homes (including the Elliot Ness home) and marinas; and a view of the Cleveland skyline. Wildlife sightings include: great blue heron, mallard ducks, wood ducks, cormorants, and if we’re lucky, bald eagles fishing along the coast.
-
While the Rocky River is always calm, Lake Erie is a dynamic body of water, so conditions vary depending on the wind. We will not venture into the Lake if waves are over 2ft., but it may be choppy at times.
-
Single or tandem sea kayak and equipment (paddle, life-jacket, whistle, spray skirt, and white safety light).
