Cleveland’s North Coast is where the city meets the lake in Downtown Cleveland. Waterfront vista, public spaces like Voinovich Bicentennial park and endless activities set the stage for memorable events and everyday fun. The district is also home to world-class venues, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the Great Lakes Science Center and Cleveland Browns Stadium. We are proud to partner with Take a Hike and hope you enjoy hearing about Cleveland’s lakefront – past, present and future.
