Land Access to Lorain Harbor Boat Club

The Lorain Harbor Boat Club is located in the "Lorain Boat Basin," a 56 slip marina along the east bank of the Black River in Lorain, Ohio. We are nest door to the US Coast Guard Station Lorain and between the Erie Street lift bridge and Lake Erie. We are adjacent to "Oasis Marina" which is a much larger facility and not to be confused with our basin.

There are a number of routes by land to Lorain:

• Interstate 90 west from Cleveland/Rocky River/Westlake to the Colorado Ave Exit and then right/west to Lorain
• Ohio Route 2 east from from Vermilion/Sandusky to Exit 166 (Broadway) and then north to Lorain
• Ohio Turnpike to exit 145 (Elyria) then north on Ohio Route 56 to Lorain
• US Route 6 into Lorain from points east (Avon Lake etc) or west (Vermilion)

Lake Access to Lorain Harbor Boat Club

The Lorain Harbor Boat Club is located in the "Lorain Boat Basin" and is adjacent to the US Coast Guard Station Lorain. It is on the east side of the Black River between the Erie Street Lift Bridge and Lake Erie so access from the lake does not require passing under the bridge.

When approaching from Lake Erie enter the outer harbor at the Lorain Harbor Light (41-28-52 N, 82-11-43 W, White Flash at night) and proceed SE to the Junction light (41-28-21 N 82-10-57 W) which at night has a 2-1 green flashing light and during the day displays a green-over-red daymark. Be aware that Lorain Harbor is surrounded by a collection of outer breakwalls and the cleanest entry is from the Lorain Harbor Light which is a white tower on the western end of the most outer breakwall. The Junction light is SE of the Lorain Harbor Light and marks the east side of the mouth of the Black River. Stay to the right of the Junction Light. Proceed up the Black River, you'll find our club on your left on the east shore of the Black River.
