What a great day trip. If it’s your first time, Park at Lake Front Park and Beach and walk to the pier. It’s a nice walk and not too far. From the lookout, you can see the lighthouse. The path going there is presently marked “restricted”, but there were a couple of rule breakers today who made it to the lighthouse unscathed. If you’re into fishing, the right side of the pier has areas for fishing. If you walk behind the pier towards Comfort Inn, you’ll see the yacht club, Huron River, and businesses. There’s a coffee house ain’t far from Comfort Inn and restaurants, too. If you want something sweet, stop by the Donut Shop early.
I spent some time on the other side of the pier reflecting on life while listening to the waves. The park is clean. There’s a restroom available and very clean as well.
We walked as far as the viewing area, for the lighthouse.
The remainder of the walk (to go the entire path to the lighthouse), said that it was off limits.
I did see two people at the base of the lighthouse, but with the weather of the day, I was not sure that it was advisable to have made the walk (along the rocks), to get to the lighthouse
Nice long pier to walk out to see the lighthouse and large body of water. There were lots of people fishing along the pier.
A nice, short, free walk out to view the lighthouse. Beautiful views of Lake Erie and to watch the boats coming and going in the river. Lots of folks fishing along the pier. Saw charter boats, kayakers, jet skiers, and sailboats.
beautiful place to walk after dinner and at sunset.this is a place where everyone says hi as you pass by.
If you like to walk along the water, watch boats, look over the shoulders of fisher people, listen to the gulls, watch the ducks, and have a bald eagle fly so low overhead that the swish of its wings can be heard, then take a walk on the Huron Pier. Read the signs and get a feel for what the Huron River meant to the late 19th and early to mid 20th century economy. It is an easy walk on a huge wide “sidewalk”to an observation point with a free viewer to take in the scenery. It’s accessible too. On a clear day one can see Cedar Point and the islands to the west and the Avon point to the east with the unaided eye. A more challenging walk leads to the lighthouse. Not the postcard kind, but a more modern structure. We’ve never been out that far because we take the dog with us and the walk to the light house has “broken dog legs” written all over it.
The breeze is always blowing and the sounds of the lake and all the creatures that inhabit the area always fills the ears. A great way to spend twenty minutes or a couple of hours.
