A Hidden Island Gem in the Midwest

Summer on South Bass Island

Sunset on South Bass Island, Ohio

When it comes to visiting the Great Lakes, most people head to Lake Michigan or Lake Superior, or they seek out the legendary Mackinac Island in Lake Huron. But for those looking for a casual island environment steeped in history, don't overlook South Bass Island in Lake Erie.

Nestled just below the US-Canada border, the views are unbeatable from just about anywhere on the island. With the friendly people and Perry Monument - a spot designating the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812, it is an ideal getaway for a quick weekend.
