Top 7 Lighthouses in Ohio, United States
If you are looking for an active place to stay with world-class attractions, Ohio’s major cities can satisfy any vacation desire. Each offers its own distinct flavor of fun, from professional sports – Bengals (Cincinnati), Cavaliers (Cleveland) and Indians (Cleveland again) – to museums, outdoor activities and more. One of the most famous is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. If football is your thing, don’t miss the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. For the science-minded, visit the meat eaters at the Carnivore Conservation Center in the Wilds near Cambridge, dedicated to the breeding and scientific study of endangered mid-sized carnivores. Kids will also love Planet Snoopy in Sandusky or the Columbus Zoo’s Zoombezi Bay Waterpark and Jack’s Landing rides.

Pick a date the keeper's house, lifesaving station, and lighthouse are all open...great volunteers, museum, gift shop, and small fee to climb the lighthouse. We lucked into the annual Lakeside Perch Festival with a fish fry and vendors. Don't miss the Confederate Cemetery on a nearby island with a $2.00 bridge fee. Wonderful afternoon with great lake views including Cedar Point.

Lorain Lighthouse is located 1/2 mile off Lorain in Lake Erie. It operates public tours(inside), Sunset Wine Dinners, July 4th Fireworks Picnic. The Jewel of the Port® is available for private events-weddings, retirement parties, corporate events, etc. Boat transportation is needed. It is a non-profit, all volunteer organization. All this info is on our website, www.lorainlighthouse.com. It is three floors plus basement & the turret. Although it was built 1917 it was threatened with demolition in 1965 when the Coast Guard no longer needed its services. A group of community leaders came together to lead the campaign to save the Lighthouse. Restoration work was done after it being vacant for years before the public was invited to tour. Now upkeep work is ongoing. The original Fresnel lenses is on display at the Port Authority office. The Lighthouse is open during the summer months only because of its location.

My husband and I had a fun time walking around the grounds and reading the informative plaques. It would've been nice to tour the inside as well but even seeing the grounds was worth the stop.

I live in this community and I know what went into getting this lighthouse renovated and relocated close to where it originally stood. It has helped in saving this portion of the lakefront from any future development and created a new destination for locals and tourists alike. Festivals and weddings have been celebrated on the steps of this cute little lighthouse. And rumor has it there soon may be a boathouse too. There are picnic tables, benches, a nice shade tree and a small fishing pond right at the lighthouse itself. A fishing pier is near by located on the Portage River and Lake Erie. And you could walk the beach along the marsh enjoying the surrounding nature. It is great little lighthouse with historical ambiance in the small community of Port Clinton.

My wife and I have been coming here for quite some time. Vermillion in a quaint lakeside summer tourist town that has lots to offer the visitor. This year's Covid however threw everything under the bus, not sure what was open or closed most of the time. One thing you can always enjoy however if the Vermillion lighthouse. It is a romantic stroll along the waterfront in the evening that is really great. Albeit a short stroll as there are private homes on each side of the lighthouse, it is still very inviting especially on a warm summer eve
