Sunset Kayak, Lake Erie State Park, Brocton NY (Sept. 25, 2014) [Lake Erie]




Our last trip to Lake Erie in July was to an urban area around Cleveland OH.  This time, we are along the shores of Lake Erie in the New York Concord grape district.  Lake Erie crosses Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.  And they call it the smallest Great Lake!

This morning we left central Pennsylvania and took back roads through the mountains and, for a few hours, Allegheny State Forest.  The scenery was beautiful.  At altitudes up to 2,250 ft above sea level we saw emerging fall colors and blue skies.  The roads were narrow, windy and hilly; steep ups and steep downs.  The special scenery was worth the extra effort to drive them. 

Lake Erie State Park is an older, well-manicured park on cliffs overlooking the Lake.  Our campsite is right on the Lake.  We spent some time walking the beach and exploring the park.  What a special place!  It was a mild, sunny day with almost no winds.  So we inflated the kayaks and took them out to watch the sunset from the water.  What a beautiful view!  Enjoy the photos!
