8 Stops to Make on a Family Road Trip to Ohio’s Lake Erie Coastline

October 8, 2021October 8, 2021

Pack your bags and load up the family for a road trip to Port Clinton and the North Shores of Ohio. There is something for everyone from the outdoor enthusiasts to the thrill seekers. Your family can make a full itinerary for a long weekend to include beaches, lighthouses, islands, African Safari, hiking trails, amusement parks, indoor waterparks, and so much more. We recently took a weekend road trip and stayed as a family to explore the area. Port Clinton is only 2.5 hours away from Fort Wayne which makes it a convenient location to visit. The boys have so many stories to share about our experiences from our weekend. So far, they have shared stories with anyone that would listen about their trip including their favorites, African Safari Wildlife Park and Kalahari Indoor Waterpark. We all had our favorite stops along the way and mine was the charming Lighthouses. Check out eight must see attractions for your family to enjoy plus recommendations on where to stay.
