There were very few visiting places from the place where we live, and we wanted to get away for a short trip during summer holidays. So we chose Put-In-Bay Island as it's only a couple of hours drive for us. We really loved this place and would definitely recommend it for a 2- or 3-day trip with family.
We reached Port Clinton via Car and then took Miller Ferry to go to Put-In-Bay Island. These ferries are very huge and transport our cars as well. We rented a cute little tree house like Cabin from South Bass Island State Park | Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ohiodnr.gov) and it was a never before kind of experience staying in such cute little cabins. It's right beside Lake Erie and there were several options for kids to play on the swings, swim in water, fish, kayak, walk around, bike etc.
These Cabinets had 2 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a living room. There are beds but we need to take blankets, cooking utensils, Soaps etc. There is firepit and grill outside as well. There are several stores nearby to buy wood for fire.
It's difficult to park car wherever we want in Put-In-Bay, hence everyone rents Golf carts or walks around. We took Golf Cart for couple of days when we wanted to visit some attractions that are farther from where we stayed and managed to walk rest of the days. There are several places to visit, and I have listed some key ones below -
- PUT-IN-BAY DOWNTOWN with lots of restaurants and good food options (Would recommend trying as many restaurants as possible as they are so worth it.)
- DERIVERA PARK, Boardwalk, Key West Area in Downtown
- PERRY’S VICTORY AND INTERNATIONAL PEACE MEMORIAL
- THE BUTTERFLY HOUSE AT PUT-IN-BAY (Expensive and not many butterflies)
- SOUTH BASS ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE AT PUT-IN-BAY
- MOTHER OF SORROWS CATHOLIC CHURCH
- HEINEMAN WINERY TOURS
- CRYSTAL CAVE (Very beautiful and a must see if you have never seen a crystal cave before)
- SCHEEFF EAST POINT PRESERVE (Beautiful spot for pictures)
- ADVENTURE BAY AMUSEMENT PARK (Car Racing was so fun)
There were many other attractions, but this is all we could manage in the short time we spent there.
We went there over a July 4'th long weekend and have been fortunate to see the fireworks display over the lake. It was a beautiful experience.
Frosty Bar Pizzas were very good and there is live music in several restaurants in the evenings. We can see several grape fields with lots of grapes hanging around.
