Located 3 mi/5 km west of downtown on Lake Erie, Edgewater is a tranquil haven in all seasons. A 1-mi/2-km walking track, fishing pier, beach, baseball diamond and picnic shelter make it popular with locals pursuing a variety of activities. On windy days, the skies above the sprawling lawns are filled with colorful kites. Sailboat masts along the docks of the adjacent (but private) Erie Yacht Club complete the panorama.
