Poppins and I travel to Kelleys Island and explore the history, the food, the campgrounds and more. Kelleys Island is the largest US island in Lake Erie and once hosted the largest limestone quarry operation in the world. Islanders have turned grapes to wine and vineyards dot the island.
With our trusty golf cart, Poppins drives Da Viking to the hotspots, we try food and drink, and we camp at the state park. We discuss the fascinating history of Kelleys Island. Including the abandoned rock crusher, glacial grooves, a sculpture park and a VW van convention.

I went to summer camp a years as a kid at Camp Patmos. It was fun. The glacial grooves now have a walkway constructed over them to view them and to stop the public from climbing on them.

I will always have extremely fond memories of Kelley’s Island. I went there once with with my father, uncle, and grandfather, and drove around with my grandpa on a golf cart, where he (at the behest of my grandma) gave me my uncle’s childhood 1960’s copies of “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings,” which I read in our tents by the lakeside in the park during the trip. Thank you, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, and Uncle Boo, for those amazing gifts and memories 🙂

FYI, there's a coastal wet land near Fremont MI at the intersection of 28th Street (a seasonal road) and the North Country Trail. It's the coastal wet land farthest east of the ocean.

LOVE Kelleys Island! Every year we spend a week at Put-In-Bay, and always take a day trip over to Kelleys to enjoy the scenery and the food! Every time we go to the Glacial Grooves we discover something different. The Winery is a lot of fun - and the Kelleys Island Cantina has amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing Mexican food and fantastic Margaritas. WELL worth a visit! Someday we'd like to spend a few nights there, get a feel for the island life.

@jeffmurdock8321 10 месяцев назад

Have you seen how the park revamped the Grooves walkway & signage recently? I think it was completed in May of 2023. They did a great job updating it from the old 70's look it formerly had. Worth a look if you get a chance to see it again.

@muffykmt 2 года назад

There are a lot of great restaurants to eat at, often offering live music. Downtown is small but fun. You can dock at the marina downtown or dock at the marina where the ferry comes in that is more protected and very quiet. The cafe there is great lunch and breakfast. You can be around people and music or you can be where it's quiet or do some of both. North of downtown, the historical museum and the resale shop 2 doors down are fun, museum is VERY inexpensive to visit. The sand beach, part of the state park/campgrounds is very nice as is the white sand beach at the end of the trail for Scheele Preserve. Amazing sunsets are viewable at West Bay Inn on the west side of the island, with a great view of Put-in-Bay and Perry's Monument, a lot of people show up there to watch sunsets. We dock where the ferry comes in, live on our boat from late April to mid-October but also own land on the island. Really enjoyed your take on KI and the videos, thanks for sharing!

As a kid, my grandfather had 2 summer cottages. The first is buried somewhere deep underwater in the Sandusky Bar. The second, was a Kelley's Island. During my childhood, I spent a few days on Kelley's, mostly at the state park. It is the site where I developed my love for fishing for white bass. I need to visit more often.

We went there for a festival, hiked the island because we couldn’t get a golf cart or bike. I recognized the street and store where you rented the cart, as we danced the cotton eye joe and other line dances there. We’ve been to Put-in-Bay as well, but I have a tunnel pass, which is much easier to get to the island than by boat.

WAIT! I been to Kelly's Island. Hell yeah, to pick up a friend who was at the church camp there. It was a long, long time ago... long. But he got to rent a ride on an old relic, Ford Trimotor that went from the island to the mainland. I wanted to go too, but it was too many trips using the car ferry - was long. Rock-paper-scissors, he won and got to go on the historic airplane. Long time ago, almost totally forgot! about it. Great video, love the channel.

Greetings from OH-IO!! Great video of Kelleys Island. Wish I'd know you were coming that's my stomping grounds. Id also recommend a trip to North Bass Island. Ohio's northern most and arguably most remote state park. Be a great trip with Thor since it can only be accessed by private boat or plane.

@RestlessViking 2 года назад

I've been looking at North Bass for a couple of years now. Just have to get the logistics figured out. We could take the old rental plane too.

@chrisjohnson7364 2 года назад

@@RestlessViking Boats I know, planes not so much. Staying on N. Bass coming by boat is a lot easier now that ODNR put in 4 moorings. I know the airport has a paved runway but not much else there. If you want local info I'd be glad to help.

@RestlessViking 2 года назад

@@chrisjohnson7364 Looks like a little 1,800’ N/S runway in fair condition. That’s about the limit of old 76W’s takeoff distance. Looks like a boat would be less risky. Moorings eh. Any chance of a shore tie with anchor astern?

@chrisjohnson7364 2 года назад

@@RestlessViking Yes. Honey Point (Smith Pond) the point on the southeast of the Island would provide good protection except from the southwest and west. Closer to the main body of the island the better protection. Manila Bay has good protection but no access to the island's interior.

KI is a great getaway for a quick weekend vacation. Next time you have to check out the winery, which is one of the best things on the island (it's close to town, it has a pizzaria/mexican resturaunt, stinky farm animals you can pet, there is cornhole/horse shoe pits, and they usually have a band playing there).

Always neat seeing outside of Michigan. Us being from s/east Michigan and avid campers we mostly go north in michigan. Never really even thought of camping outa michigan until recently. Fiancé seen apic of hocking hills in Ohio. We're thinking next year branching out and going south. Just hate the slow highway speeds anything south of the michigan border. Love the vids dude 👍🏻
