About Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park
Along a .45-mile stretch of Lake Erie shore, the 17-acre Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park is east of the Grand River mouth. Parking is available in a large lot on Huntington Beach Drive at the northern terminus of High Street, north of the 2nd Street intersection. Additional beach access for foot and bike traffic is at the northern termini of East and Vine streets.

Owned by the village of Fairport Harbor and managed by the Lake Metroparks, the site features walking paths that link various amenities throughout the park. A 425-foot pier with transient dockage is on the west side of the park. From the base of the pier, a foot-friendly groomed sand beach extends 1,330 feet east. The beach ranges from 140- to 180-feet wide and narrows at the park’s east end where the shore is armored.

Additional amenities at the back of the beach include picnic tables, playground equipment, a concession stand, a kayak rental booth, beach volleyball courts and a bathhouse. Along the park’s south, a narrow tree-lined green space runs the length of the site. On the west, the green space expands south into a 3.5-acre open mowed grass field with a small amphitheater. Adjacent to the south, the historic Fairport Harbor Lighthouse and Marine Museum is at the northwest corner of High and Second streets.

Lakefront Park is adjacent to the east of the Fairport Harbor Port Authority's Boat Access, which has a 425-foot pier with transient dockage. From Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park (Coastal Access) webpage
