The shore of Lake Erie is about 569 feet (173 meters) above sea level; however, the city lies on a series of irregular bluffs lying roughly parallel to the lake. In Cleveland these bluffs are cut principally by the Cuyahoga River, Big Creek, and Euclid Creek. The city rises quickly from the shore. Downtown Cleveland, less than a mile inland, is 650 feet (198 meter), and Hopkins Airport, only five miles inland from the lake, is at an elevation of 770 feet.
