There are numerous Lake Erie Islands to visit, to include North Bass Island with it's limited access wildlife areas and pristine beaches. There is Middle Bass Island, a growing island with an expanding state marina and campground, a small general store, two eateries, a bed and breakfast and numerous wildlife areas.

South Bass Island has the largest concentration of stores, restaurants and activities as well as another state park. They have regular live entertainment and Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial. Rattlesnake Island is an exclusive family retreat.

You can get to the islands by private boat, private plane, the Jet Express or a Miller Boat Line Ferry. Check their schedules and make sure you catch the correct ferry - they don't all go to the same island. Many of the islands do not have ferry service, or only have limited service.
