Middle Bass Island, Ohio in the Lake Erie Islands

Middle Bass Island, Ohio still has a very "small town" atmosphere. Middle Bass is 805 acres, and is located within the Lake Erie Islands in Ottawa County, Ohio. It is one of 23 islands, and is the "Middle" island of the three Bass Islands. There is a general store, post office, gift shop, and paved airstrip on the island as well as several nature preserves, lodging facilities and other small businesses.

Entertainment includes J.F. Walleyes and St. Hazards, as well as ice fishing, summer fishing, swimming, biking, and trips to Put-in-Bay on the Sunny S. The state of Ohio purchased large areas of the island to include historic Lonz Winery, and they are currently creating a beautiful park area, campground and expanded marina.

Middle Bass can be reached by regular ferry service, private boat, private plane, and charter aircraft. A fantastic vacation destination - It is close enough to spend weekends - but it feels soooo far away!
