Put-in-Bay Highlighted as Top Ohio Getaway Destination

Put-in-Bay, OH — A new roundup by Axios Cleveland puts Put-in-Bay in the spotlight as one of Ohio’s top destinations for a relaxing escape. Often compared to more well-known spots like Hocking Hills or Geneva-on-the-Lake, the island village is praised for its vibrant summer atmosphere, outdoor activities, and scenic charm.

Located in Ottawa County and accessible by ferry, Put-in-Bay offers something for everyone — from water sports and wineries to family-friendly parks. The island’s biggest event of the season, Bash on the Bay, draws crowds every August. This year’s headliners include country stars Luke Bryan and Sam Hunt.
