A few miles off the southern shore of Lake Erie lies a series of islands, with South Bass Island being one of the most popular recreation and tourism destinations, accessible by ferry or private boat. Travelers head to South Bass's northern township, Put-in-Bay Harbor, for plenty of summer fun and dining options, such as the multi-level Boardwalk. Choose from several bars and restaurants under one roof at this family-friendly location, but definitely don't miss out on their famous Lobster Bisque! Thirsty adults will enjoy the Boardwalk's Mexican-inspired bar, Rita's Cantina, which offers the island's largest variety of tequila.

Getaway to Lake Erie 

The Great Lakes are a SHMOE...at least that's how our editor has remembered their names since 3rd grade. Together, Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Erie make up the largest body of fresh water on the planet. This time, we're exploring Lake Erie. This particular Great Lake is surrounded by almost 800 miles of shoreline and is home to 31 small islands (mostly on the western side), which means that the opportunities for fun are endless. Curious travelers should plan on staying and playing in Ohio, where they'll find amusement parks, water sports, landmarks, dining, and plenty of lodging choices from camp grounds to high-end hotels. Click through to learn what Ohio's Lake Erie region offers in terms of family vacation memories.
