Lorain City Park & Launch Boat Ramp

Located at First Street and Oberlin Avenue in downtown Lorain, this facility features six boat ramps (three dedicated for launching vessels up to 24 feet and three for recovery), with a bait and tackle store on-site.

The area is locally known as "Hot Waters" due to its position between a former power plant and ore docks, and fishing is permitted at this recreational access point to Lake Erie.
