I Love Lighthouses!

It’s impossible to see a lighthouse and not stop, no matter where our travels take us. We’ve been here a handful of times, including when my son got married here in October ‘15, so it’s even a more special stop for us now, whenever we...More

We always stop here but no longer go in. I just love to take pictures of the lighthouse. The day we were there, the parking lot was crowded and the picnic tables were full of folks just enjoying the area.. Stop by

We were fortunate enough to be in the area when the lighthouse was open for tours, during the Marblehead Lighthouse Festival. The tour was informative & the views from the top were nice. It is a beautiful lighthouse & is located in a beautiful setting....More

Nice place to stop and enjoy Lake Erie

Beautiful little park right on the water. Lots of shoreline to wander around on and you can see the Cedar Point roller coasters across the water, which was neat.

Put-In-Bay or Kelley's Island? (3 Replies)

Hello all! Will be travelling thru the area in July (mid-week) and would like to spend a day in the area. We would like to take a trip out to one of the islands for a day and would like to know which would be the better option. Both in mid 40's. Would like to sight-see on foot. Which island would have more variety in terms of natural scenery as well as village/town area for shopping/dining? We'll be driving from Detroit area heading east and will try and stop along shore around...More

First time to PIB & Kelley's Island (3 Replies)

I am planning a trip to PIB with my family(kids age 11 & 4) in June. Tues to Fri. I think we will stay at PIB for 2 nights and then stay 1 night at Kelleys Island. Can I ride a ferry from on to the other? Is Marblehead lighthouse on Kelley Island? Do you have any suggestions on where to stay? Will PIB be family friendly during the week? THANKS

Best Lakefront Access/Views for Kids (5 Replies)

We will be traveling from Kirtland, OH to Kalamazoo, MI on Saturday July 2, 2016. We have 5 kids, ages 9mo, 5, 7, 10, and 12. We'd like to stop somewhere along the shore of Lake Erie for the kids to enjoy the view and run around (but not necessarily get wet--unless it's really hot that day!). We plan to picnic as much as possible, as we'll have a tight budget. We do want to stop at the Marblehead Lighthouse, but is there somewhere else lakeside we should definitely not miss en route to the...More

Thank you so much for the links! Very helpful. I'd been considering Sheldon Marsh to avoid crowds and get more of a feel for the natural lakeside habitat, but I was concerned about the length of walk to the beach. I somehow thought it was two miles one way, but one mile is doable. Just to clarify, Google maps shows that one drives almost all the way to the pumping station by the beach, but the preserve website seems to show that you park right next to US-6 and then walk a mile to the beach....More
