We're tourists. Swam out a little bit to watch the sunset, as you do and come back after and there's a 'guard' standing there waiting for us.

The lake was a tad cold but Lake Erie in my experience is usually pretty cold and needs to rely on a hot day to make it more enjoyable. But the beach was clean also and I really love that too. Litter anywhere will ruin a place but you can tell the people and the parks and rec department really take care of this place. Glad I visited and excited to make it a...
