I was in Erie on business--of sorts--when I decided to see if there was a humble peak to bag before heading back into the Great Woods. While looking for a truly "humble" summit called Mount Saint Benedict, a mere 640 feet, I came across Shades Beach, which is a Harborcreek Township park.
With a name like "Shades Beach," I decided to give it a chance. The thing I typically don't like about beaches is the absence of shade, so this place sounded worth exploring. And it is.
It's got a woodland trail that wends its course steeply uphill and along the high cliffs above Lake Erie, affording pretty good views.
The city of Erie was less sad than I'd remembered, too.
