The airport. Just a
little ways past this building make a left. This road that will
take you towards the state park. Go two miles past the
airport and you will come to the only gas station on the island. |
After you turned left from
the airport, go about 1 mile, the road will end
here. This store is on the corner. You can buy beer, soda,
ice and most important FIRE WOOD here. Make a left to go into
the state park or a right to go towards town. |
The Islands name is South
Bass, hence South Bass State Park. Put-in-Bay is the name
of the community. Make a right to enter or go straight to
the beach. The golf course is on your left now. |
This is the Park Rangers
office. You must check in here first. They will tell
you the procedure and availability of campsites and cabins in
the park. Campsites are $16 per night for two tents. Call
ahead to make reservations at 419-285-2112 |
Here is the beach area.
Jet ski rental is available for $40 per 1/2 hour. In the
background is the campsite area over looking the lake.
They are great sites as long as there is not a strong west wind
blowing off the lake !! Hold on to your tent!! The
campsites inside the park are well protected from
the wind with trees. |
Like golf ? Right
before the beach area and just across from the picnic shelter
area at the park is the only nine hole golf course on the
island. It is not bad. A nice time to relax and
enjoy the day. I believe it was $7 to play and $5 to rent
clubs. P.S. they also have misc. food supplies in
case you don't want to go all the way to the store. |
Well here I am at the
campsite. Unloading everything. Getting it all set
up. One picnic table and one fire place. Don't
forget to bring a cover for the table. I believe you can
have 2 tents, 6 people, and only one vehicle per campsite.
Before you take Millers Ferry across to the island there
is a place you can leave your car. A kind of
long/short term parking. It is safe. I have used it.
It is a grass outdoor lot on your left just before you turn
right to go down by the ferry landing, and I think it was $3 per
day. You just pile every ones supplies into one car and
one person will drive onto the ferry and the rest will walk.
No big deal, every one does it. If you need a ride to the
campsite because your car is full, then on the island as you get
off the ferry, look for a blue or a yellow van. These are
the islands taxi service vans. They take you anywhere you
want to go on the island for only $2 or $3 per person. |
