Tourist Guide

Best photo opp? Aboard the ferry with Lake Erie as the back drop. A great place to take photos is from aboard the ferry to or from the Lake Erie Islands of Put-in-Bay or Middle Bass, Ohio.

Love the lake, it is always a great get away!
The ferry ride to Put-in-Bay is 18 minutes. Just enough time to soak up some sun and enjoy the company of your friends/family with a Lake Erie view.
