Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve
aka
Dike 14, Gordon Park

To get to Dike 14, take I 90 to Martin Luther King Blvd. Turn North on Martin Lutheran King Blvd, then left (or West) on N Marginal Rd. Turn right in the Cleveland Lakefront State Park - Gordon Boat Ramp parking area. Park in the far northeast end of the parking lot. This is the end of the parking lot closest to the gate that surrounds Dike 14.

Waivers must be signed before entering Dike 14. Waivers will be available before the walk. Wear good shoes and socks, long pants for hiking. The terrain is very rough and there are no established signage, walks or trails. We'll take it slow, but it is a wild place that almost no one has accessed yet, so be prepared. There are ticks on site. If you are concerned, you can use bug spray before the hike but that is a personal choice.. You can also tuck pants into socks and do a quick check when we are done hiking, and there should be no problem. Bathrooms are available near the site at the Cleveland Lakefront State Park office to the east of the site entrance, and immediately to the west of the site entrance. No facilities on site.
