North Toledo offers a little bit of everything. As you travel through this part of town, you’ll see the backdrop of Toledo’s historic industrial area break into scenic lakefront vistas.

Surrounded by the Ottawa River, Lake Erie, Maumee Bay, and the Maumee River, Point Place is a unique shore-side community that offers numerous water activities, including canoeing and kayaking. The canoe and kayak launch in Cullen Park is connected to a steel walking ramp with handrails for easy access. But this glorious public park, teeming with wildlife, offers more outdoor activities, including fishing and first-class bird watching.

Nearby, the ARCA Toledo Speedway packs pulse-pounding excitement into every lap. Check out Friday night auto racing throughout the season, capped off by the Glass City 200, the grand finale, every season in mid-September.
