Our natural landscape is stunning! Not only can you take home some great locally-grown or organic produce or wine, you will also take with you some great photos and memories. Nature lovers can spend the weekend enjoying spectacular birding, winter hikes or cross country skiing, parks, and Lake Erie, capped off with a trip to a winery or spa. Make sure you explore the calendar of events for a list of many fine festivals, sporting events and performances. Stroll through our galleries and museums and afterward, catch a performance or gourmet meal. Welcome to Lorain County! We’re located smack dab in the middle of north central Ohio along the shores of Lake Erie, halfway between Cedar Point and downtown Cleveland.
