BIKED PUT-IN-BAY, South Bass Island, Ohio

Biking Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller

Date: August 2, 2025

We camped at the Sandusky Bayshore KOA Campground then took the Miller Ferry from Catawba Island on the 25-minute ride across to the island. The small island had a dedicated bike path by the road for much of the island. Very few cars came by as most of the island visitors and residents traveled via golf carts. We biked about nine miles total, stopping for various roadside attractions, South Bass Island Lighthouse & Light Tower, and scenic views. We ate lunch at the “The Keys” overlooking Perry’s War Monument. Rosie had mahi mahi tacos, I had a delicious walleye Rueban capped with a Lake Erie Monster (pina colada, kiwi-strawberry Daiquiri and topped with Malibu rum). We biked over to the Memorial, to a very small state park, the harbor and around the island. We could look across the lake and see Canada in the distance.
