The Lakefront
A lake city with a working harbor and famous sunsets.
Lorain grew up on the southern shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of the Black River, nicknamed "The International City" for the generations of immigrant workers who built its ships and steel. Today the lakefront is the draw: Lakeview Park, the historic Lorain Lighthouse, and about 20 marinas and boat clubs along Lorain County's 23 miles of coastline.
