The park was initially purchased, and has been improved and maintained to what it is today, through tax levies passed by the citizens of Conneaut. The park is a garden spot with the most beautiful view of Lake Erie, Conneaut's harbor and lighthouse that you could possibly ever imagine. It is the spot on Lake Erie for enjoying all types of sports, water activities, picnicking, and communicating with nature for people of all ages. It truly is Conneaut's diamond on the lake. The Board of Park Commissioners welcomes all to come and visit Conneaut and its beautiful park.
About half of Conneaut Township Park's acres are comprised of sand that has collected on the west side of Conneaut Harbor's west breakwater. The harbor's 0.3-mile long southern breakwater marks the east side of the beach. Sand covers all but the northern 600 feet of the breakwater, which is used for fishing access.
The nearly 60-acre Conneaut Township Park is on land north of State Route 531 (Lake Road) from the Chestnut Street intersection east to Lake Bluff Way. The park has numerous parking lots including lots off of the Chestnut Street Extension, and Grove Street's north terminus which loops the southeast corner of the park.
The Western Reserve Greenway Trail (WRGT) GeoTrail is a 26 mile long paved trail operated by the Ashtabula County Metroparks. The trail is funded by grants and donations, and receives no public funds. The trail is maintained by volunteers, so please remember to C-I-T-O during your visit.
The GeoTrail was created by the Western Reserve Geocachers with the coins funded by the Ashtabula County Convention & Visitors Bureau. In order to earn your coin, you must complete all 26 miles of the trail within the Ashtabula County. In each mile of the trail, at least 3 caches will contain a code word printed inside the container lid and/or logbook. You must collect at least 2 codewords from each mile of the trail. Once you have 52 code words, complete your trail passport and take it to one of the coin dispensing locations to receive your coin.
When turning in your passport, you may be asked to complete a brief survey.
Coin dispensing locations are:
Ashtabula County Convention & Visitors Bureau on Austinburg Road (41 47.380, -80 51.219)
Shannon's Mini Mart on Rte 307 (41 46.323, -80 51.139)
