About Miller Road Park
Located along the Lake Erie shoreline Miller Road Park consists of approximately 14 acres of wonderful outdoor activities. Site amenities include a boat launch with 24 hours a day access, a fishing pier, a gazebo, a picnic pavilion, picnic tables, a playground, restrooms, beachfront access to the lake including a handicap accessible ramp, and a .25 mile walking path. We recently added a courtesy dock to improve access to our park for boaters. This park is also the home for our summer concert series which is a wonderful family event offered during the summer. While we do provide beach access to Lake Erie, this beach is not staffed with lifeguards. Swimmers are expected to swim at their own risk while the park is open. Please, review the park rules for more information on permitted activities. This park is located on the north side of Lake Road at Miller Road. From Miller Road Park (Coastal Access) webpage



About Veterans Memorial Park
The 17.7-acre Miller Road Park is on US-6 (Lake Road) northeast of the Miller Road intersection on the city of Avon Lake’s west side.

The park features a two-lane public boat launch accessible 24-hours a day. The launch is protected by two piers providing fishing access. The 550-foot west pier is made of limestone boulders, as is the 400-foot east pier, which is topped with a handicap accessible, paved concrete, lighted walkway. A 2002 grant from the Ohio Coastal Management Program funded, in part, the construction of a beach access ramp from the east pier down to the beach. The foot-friendly sand beach may run the length of the park’s property; however, the width and length vary with water levels.

Miller Road Park is adjacent to the west of a coal-fired power plant. The nearshore waters may be warmer than surrounding Lake Erie water. Temperature differences, shore structures, and nearshore profiles can cause currents here (see beach safety tips in the introduction). Swimming is at one’s own risk.

The back beach is lined with a twenty-foot tall shale cliff. For safety, a chain link fence runs along the top of the cliff separating the bluff face from the park’s upper, partially shaded grass area. Amenities include picnic tables, grills, playgrounds, paved trails, and two gazebos.

The park’s west parking lot has car-trailer parking. Additional car-only lots are along the east side of park property and U.S. Route 6, which parallels the Back Roads & Beaches Bike Trail. From Avon Lake Veterans Memorial Park webpage
