Photos from in and around Northeast Ohio

Veterans Park

Most of my photo excursions always seem to begin or end at Veterans Park here in Northeast Ohio. I’m not sure if it’s the park’s proximity or how unique the park is with it’s ever changing scenery and wildlife.

Veterans Park protects the largest inland pond in Lake county and is a remnant of original Ohio swamp forest. The park offers four accessible fishing piers, a 1.78-mile loop trail though native wetlands with 830 feet of boardwalk, and a wetland/wildlife viewing area. Granger Pond is generally stocked with catfish, bass, bluegill and rainbow trout. The property was purchased from The Granger Family by the City of Mentor in 1970 and was Mentor’s first neighborhood park. (Courtesy Lake Metroparks)
