New Pilot in Cleveland, no idea where to fly

[BuzzyMcWhirl]

Hey all,

Just got my Mavic Pro. All charged up. Now I need to find places near Cleveland, OH where I can safely fledge my little eagle.

Anyone in the area interested in flying or even know some drone friendly places to get started?

All those welcomes, but no advice on where to fly. Let’s see.

• Any of the parks along the lake from the Avon Lake power plant east to Lakewood Park.
• Lorain/Spitzer Marina where the Black River dumps into the lake.
• Vermilion.
• Around the ski places in Brecksville. Just be careful to not launch from the national park.
• Nearly any public space along the Cuyahoga beyond the national park all the way around to its head.
• La Due reservoir.
• Pleasant Hill Lake.
• And I’ve actually had great luck at the state parks even though I think they don’t allow it. I just stop in and talk to a ranger to say I’m going to be flying around. Only once have I been told no. Usually they are real interested.

Heading out to the East Liverpool/ Steubenville area this weekend to see what’s up there.

Thank You! This helps. I actually found Bradstreet pier to be blessedly free of restrictions and the RR fuzz to be pretty cool too. Unfortunately work takes me away this weekend.
