Headlands Beach State Park, Mentor, Ohio
Lake County
Nearest Big City: Cleveland

Difficulty: Easy - you will need a compass.

Headlands Beach State Park is located on Route 44, east of Cleveland. Take
Route 2 East from Cleveland to Route 44 North. Head north on Route 44 until
the road ends at the Park entrance.

Go straight into the Park and take the first left hand turn. The Park road
travels along the edge of a series of parking lots. Park in Lot P-16.
Across the street from the parking lot, opposite the beach side of the lot,
is a maintenance road. Follow the maintenance road for a short distance
until you see a sign for a cross country ski trail posted on a utility pole
on the left side of the road. Follow the ski trail.

You will pass a wooden bridge with metal railings on the right side of the
trail. There will be a series of utility poles on the left side of the
trail. Further down the trail, there will be a utility pole straight ahead
of you, and the path will go to the left. The bull-rushes on both sides of
the trail will stop and the trail will go into the woods. Just where the
bull-rushes stop, there is a clearing and a tree on the right side of the
trail.
