Minutes from Lake Erie and just north of the Grand River, Madison's charm begins with its natural beauty and extends to its historic downtown shopping district. Located off I-90, Madison is about 38 miles northeast of Downtown Cleveland. Heavily wooded and rural, Madison is home to roughly 3,000 residents. The historic downtown features a variety of shops, restaurants, and taverns along brick-paved walkways, complete with a town square.
The beautiful landscape is celebrated in nearby parks, such as Paine Falls Park, where a picturesque waterfall is the star. Hell Hollow Wilderness Area also features a waterfall. More hiking, along with cliffs and hidden waterfalls, can be found at Hogback Ridge Metropolitan Park. During the summer, Headlands Beach State Park, located on Lake Erie, provides a mile-long sand beach for swimming, hiking trails, fishing areas, and picnic areas. During winter, the park is open for cross-country skiing. Geneva State Park, also on the lake, provides more swimming, fishing, and hiking opportunities in addition to a marina, cottages, a lodge, and a restaurant. Next to this popular park you'll find wineries, Adventure Zone, and shops along Lake Road.
