Off the coast is Kelley’s Island State Park http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/kelleysisland Known as Lake Erie’s Emerald Isle, the island is renowned for its geology and archaeology as well as its recreational offerings and picturesque landscapes. The 677-acre state park is located on the northern shores of the island.

About two hours southwest of Sandusky: The Ohio Caverns http://www.ohiocaverns.com/ , one of Ohio’s oldest tourist attractions. Easily accessible from I-70, 75 and 71. The cavern is covered with white crystal formations and colors, one of Ohio's oldest tourist attractions. Columbus, the state capital, is about two hours due south from Sandusky. In addition, Columbus is the home of The Ohio State University, and visitors might like to visit the football stadium, also known as the “Horseshoe” or the “Shoe.” Three hours from Sandusky is historic Greenville, Oh. For an unusual pastime, the KitchenAid Experience Retail Center in Greenville has activities, demonstrations, and cooking classes. You can shop the outlet store, visit the museum, and tour the mixer factory. Greenville has a long history, including being the location of the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, which “established the Northwest Territory and fueled the country's westward expansion by giving the new nation important access to the upper Mississippi.” The city has dozens of historic buildings (the site housing the KitchenAid Experience retail center was the Turpin House Hotel from 1885 to 1914) and the downtown retains the feel of 19th century America.
