Inaugurated in 2014, the Tifft Street Pier begins as a pleasant bow-shaped boardwalk, beautifully landscaped with greenery and space for public art installations, that leads joggers and walkers along the ”’Industrial Heritage Trail”’ directly onto the shore. But the main attraction is a floating pontoon that extends 130 feet (40 m) into the water, ending in a sleekly-designed, covered observation deck with unbeatable views over Lake Erie A a perfect spot for fishing, birdwatching or just relaxing on the waterfront. There’s docking space for boats at the end, too.
