Hi Ohio Peeps!
I am trying to arrange a family reunion for next summer. One of my cousins wives said she has the fondest memories of one on Put in Bay island when she was a kid. I am starting to look here as this would be sort of middle ground for us.

I have never been there, it looks like a beautiful small island. Is it bikeable? I'd love to bring our bikes to do some exploring and would love others to do the same.

Anyone know if there are resort type of places that could accommodate approximately 50 people?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Vicki

I'm a lurking SE Michigander. I've never been to Put in Bay, but from what I've heard it has a big party reputation.

I mainly wanted to suggest that you give nearby Kelleys Island a look. I went there twice last year. It's very bikeable and is chock full of letterboxes. It also has some neat historical and geological features to explore. No idea about resort facilities, though.

Good luck with your plans!

We went once when I was a kid. We brought our bikes and rented a tandem one for my parents. We biked to a light tower. We were thinking we would go see a lighthouse, but we found a light on top of a metal tower. I still think we didn't go far enough to find the house.
There wasn't a whole lot to do, that or my parents didn't find the fun stuff... It seemed more of a relaxing vacation spot. (we were use to roller coasters and beaches on our vacations)

We took a ferry there and rented golf carts for the day. What a fun place!! I am not sure about accommodations but it was a fun island. Our over night spot was near Cedar Point but did the ferry for the day. (Even the golf carts were named and there were swimming points around the island.)
