Tips for birding Rocky River Park
From Lake Erie Birding Trail website From Ohio Ornithological Society website

Rocky River Park has a deck which is a great place to set up a scope to view birds on Lake Erie. It is located on Beach Cliff Boulevard north of Lake Road in Rocky River. It is a bit difficult to find on a first visit but well worth the search for viewing birds on the lake. From Ken Ostermiller

About Rocky River Park
The 6-acre Rocky River Park is located north of Beach Cliff Boulevard with parking access off Parkside Drive. In 2006, the park underwent $100,000 in improvements including erosion control measures, thus creating a terrace and amphitheater effect.

Along the park’s east side, a handicap accessible paved walkway is separated by a green chain-link safety fence from a low, steep, vegetated bluff at the back of the beach. The walkway leads to a 180-foot pier marking the park’s eastern edge. The park has a 475-foot sand beach fronted by a breakwater; however, swimming, wading, fishing, boat launching, and climbing on the erosion control structure are prohibited per city regulation.

The graded, grass-covered bluff on the park’s west side is separated from the beach by a concrete block seawall. Park amenities include picnic facilities, playground equipment, and benches offering Lake Erie views. The park is open from 6 am to sunset. During summer months, Rocky River Park is home to the Sunset Concert Series. From Rocky River Park (Coastal Access) webpage
