The Lorain Port Authority was the second port authority established in Ohio. We focus on waterfront development, while also engaging in economic development project throughout the city. The Lorain Port Authority is home to Black River Landing and other waterfront parks. These parks have been known to host concert series, local festivals, charity events, and class and family reunions. The Lorain Port Authority also encourages water exploration and appreciation as we manage river tours, sunset cruises, lighthouse tours, and Jet Express specialty cruises.
