Catawba Island State Park

Catawba Island State Park spans ten acres along Lake Erie, offering limestone cliffs and natural shoreline for outdoor recreation and water activities.

The park, established in the 1950s, sits on land previously inhabited by Ottawa and Huron tribes who left archaeological evidence of their presence.

The park connects to a regional network of recreational areas that showcase the maritime heritage and natural resources of Lake Erie's islands.

Visitors can access fishing piers, boat launch ramps, and picnic areas, though the park does not provide camping facilities or shower amenities.

The park's location on Lake Erie provides opportunities to observe migratory birds and nesting bald eagles throughout different seasons.
