Marblehead Lighthouse State Park is a great spot for a relaxing and scenic visit along Lake Erie…read more We went last weekend and were able to tour the lighthouse, which was definitely worth it. Admission was $5 per person, and kids 5 and under were free. The volunteers were friendly and shared a brief but interesting history of the lighthouse and how it's been used over the years. Once inside, be ready for a bit of a climb as there are 77 narrow spiral steps leading up to an outdoor observation area. The view is worth it to see beautiful sights of Lake Erie. Even if it's not that clear of a day, you can still see Cedar Point and the Lake Erie islands in the distance. The park itself is very well maintained and offers easy access to the shoreline while still feeling safe and family-friendly. It's a peaceful place to sit, relax, and enjoy the lake breeze and sounds. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

It doesn't matter which season you go to visit this lighthouse, it's always amazing to see! Yes,…read moreshe isn't super glamorous and the gift shop could be bigger. However, they have added some nice bathrooms and more picnic tables. The giftshop and ability to climb up to the top of the tower is open seasonal. Check before you go if this is important to you. We like to stop at one of the 2 ice cream places close by and take a treat with us to sit and relax. It's a great place to people watch! I have witnessed quite a few wedding pictures being taken there over the years.

East Harbor is situated on a peninsula stretching into the waters of Lake Erie…read more The park also lies on the fringe of Ohio's prairie marsh zone. These wetlands are remnants of the Great Black Swamp, which once covered an area 120 miles long and 30-40 miles wide. Nature enthusiasts enjoy viewing an abundance of waterfowl and shorebirds in the park's scenic wetlands, as well as from the swimming beach and picnic areas along the lake. Our family and Apache camper began a series of visits in 1967, and East Harbor has remained a favorite. Greatly enjoyed the beaches, which now have a three-foot stone barrier to prevent erosion. We visit year round. The surrounding area has become somewhat commercialized. Lots of campers and fisher folks. In our early visits, we discussed a holiday at the State Park rather than a trip to the Outer Banks or to Hilton Head... My dear wife observed that an annual Atlantic Ocean Beach holiday was elemental to our life style.

We really enjoyed the views of the wetlands. It seems like a great place to do some birdwatching…read morefor those who like to do that. The park is good-sized and located right along the water. It also offers a campsite, a playground, and a public swimming beach.

Parking is available. Fishing with a license is also welcome here. It was a great spot to watch the sunset while listening to the music from the nearby yacht club drift out across the water.

The captain and his girlfriend fished with 5 rods. We were not allowed on the front of the boat…read morebecause that was his spot. They were so focused on filling our limit, that they actually got in the way of our group. We were there to catch a few fish and make some memories. She wouldn't even let me take pics of a big fish that my buddy caught. "We don't take pictures when we are catching fish", she said. She said I couId take pictures when we get back to the marina. She was rude the whole trip. I have probably fished with 50 different guides for many different types of fish. Probably 10 different walleye guides on Lake Erie. This was the worst fishing trip I have ever had, guided or not. I spent ALOT OF MONEY on this trip: hotel rooms, gas, supplies, and guide. I cannot express how disappointed I am. I didn't even keep any of the fish. I don't want any reminders of this trip.

We camped here 4th of July weekend and had a great time…read more This is a big campground with several sections. The signage makes it easy to find your spot. I will say the spots are somewhat smaller compared to other Ohio state parks we stayed at. The slots are not angled so it can be tricky to back in. They do offer lots of pull through options. Inside the campground there is a boat launch, lots of extra parking, shower houses, camp store, game room, and nature center. They don't offer a lot of activities but there were a few. My kids just loved riding our bikes up to the beach and playing in the lake. There is a nice bike bath that makes it easy to get there. There is no food in the area so bring your own or be prepared to drive.

The campground was full and sites were right on top of each other, everyone was mostly respectful…read more Check-in was easy, but late night noise levels were not enforced. One rude group kept everyone up until 3am. And many campers left so much food, booze bottles and garbage everywhere. Several of the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper. The trails were mostly mowed and taken care of.
