10 New Escapes

We all know about — and love — Lake Erie icons like Cedar Point, Niagara Falls and Put-in-Bay, but our shore also is lined with lesser-known treasures just waiting for you to explore.

A Look Back in Time: Ontario's Bob-Lo Island in 1914

Now in ruins, Bob-Lo Island was extraordinary, especially the Dance Hall, which could hold up to 5,000 people.

Discovering Ashtabula

Ashtabula County has always been known for its covered bridges — and they’re certainly worth exploring — but it’s also a great place to eat, drink, explore and enjoy the water. 

His Own Private Island

Imagine owning your own lush green island, lounging on its sandy shores and hiding away from the day-to-day madness of the mainland? For Jim Neumann, that dream became a reality when he bought Lake Erie’s Turtle Island. As it turns out, island ownership can be sublime — and sometimes not.

Summer Sensation

Take advantage of local peaches and blackberries with this sweet summer salad, shared by Bluebird Cafe in Lakeside, Ohio.

The Lake Provides

Driftwood artist Brian Pardini is celebrated in Erie, Pennsylvania, and beyond for his work. But he insists that his mission is simple — to take what nature gives him and bring out the form hidden inside.
