Along Burke Lakefront Airport east of
Downtown

The Cleveland Lakefront Bikeway spans the entire length of Cleveland’s 17-mile Lake Erie shoreline from the City’s eastern border with Euclid and it’s western border with Lakewood.  This bikeway links Cleveland’s cultural centers and medical hubs at University Circle with Downtown and the North Coast Harbor via the Harrison Dillard Bikeway through Rockefeller Park.
The Lakefront Bikeway consists of both off-road paths and on-street, signed routes.

This bikeway provides cyclists access to some of Cleveland’s best architecture as it passes through traditional neighborhoods such as Collinwood to suburban Bratenahl, before reaching Downtown and then onward through Ohio City before reaching the scenic beauty Edgewater State Park and the stately old homes along Edgewater Drive.
