Leisure World Visits Put-In-Bay on the Goodtime I

In August, Leisure World took a day trip aboard the Goodtime I to Put in Bay (South Bass) from Kelleys Island. What a great trip!! You will hear all about all of the little islands in Lake Erie. Plus you get time to visit the sites and stores on Put-in-Bay before returning to our beautiful Kelleys Island. Check out the departure times on the dock opposite THE VILLAGE PUMP!!!

When you are visiting Put-in-Bay, make sure you check out the Oliver Perry Monument like we did. Unfortunately I am not sure you will be able to go to the top because I believe they are updating it and doing maintenance to it. It still is s wonderful site (and great spot for pictures).

For a relaxed day on Put-In-Bay, take a walk or ride to Perry’s International Peace Memorial where you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Erie from the top of Perry’s Monument, a history lesson about the War of 1812 and possibly even a reenactment or memorial service.

A ride on the merry-go-round in downtown Put-In-Bay will make you feel like a kid again and gem mining is an adventurous way to collect a souvenir from your Lake Erie vacation.
