Welcome to
Remarkable Lake
County, OH.
Remarkable wineries, remarkable Lake Erie, remarkable beaches, remarkable history, remarkable outdoors,
remarkable entertainment, remarkable food, remarkable people! Remarkable Lake County, OH!
Lake County is a vibrant, growing area located less than 20 minutes east of Downtown Cleveland. Geographically the
county is the halfway point between Chicago and New York City, making it a great place to stop for a few hours or a
few days! While Lake County is the smallest geographic county in the state of Ohio, it’s arguably the largest in terms
of exciting and diverse attractions for visitors to take advantage of while they are here.
Whether you call Lake County “home” or you’ve never been to Lake County before, make your time in Lake County
remarkable. Visit one of Lake County’s award-winning wineries in Madison, take a stroll along the longest beach in
Ohio, visit President James A. Garfield’s home in Mentor, catch walleye in Lake Erie, immerse yourself in nature at the
120-foot tall emergent tower at the Holden Arboretum, explore bustling downtown Willoughby, learn about Historic
Kirtland or enjoy a Minor League Baseball game with the Lake County Captains in Eastlake.
Whether you will be traveling to the area for business, visiting friends or family, or solely looking for a fun weekend
getaway, a remarkable and memorable experience awaits you in Lake County, OH.

18 Remarkable Lake County, OH | 2020 Travel & Tourism GuideHistoric Barn Theatres:
A Brief History
Before the days of the bright lights of Broadway and
Playhouse Square, actors entertained audiences in smaller,
quaint venues, including many rural barns. Lake County is
proud to be the home of Rabbit Run, one of the nation’s last
remaining barn theaters. Located in Madison, Rabbit Run
Theater hosts nearly 10,000 patrons annually. Additionally,
the theater focuses on introducing children to the performing
arts. Many young, aspiring actors and actresses introduced
to the theater at Rabbit Run will go on to star in their middle
school, high school and college theater productions.
Grand River Valley Wineries:
Crafting Our Culture
Lake County has quickly become known for its wine industry
featuring nurseries that grow grapes, as well as wineries
producing award-winning wines. Lake County’s unique proximity
to Lake Erie creates the perfect growing season and environ-
ment to grow and produce grapes, which has led to the growth
and advancement of the wine industry in the county. Wineries
and nurseries employ thousands of diverse workers and contin-
ue to attract tens of thousands of visitors to the area annually.
The Impact of Community
Arts Beyond Lake County
While every community has a special place for the arts, Lake
County has a wide array of cultural and arts-related events
which bring visitors to the County from across the region. From
the eclectic Willoughby Arts Fest to the lively Celtic Festival,
to the variety of shows and entertainers who perform at the
Willoughby Fine Arts Association, there is an arts-related event

Locals and visitors alike can not say enough about the
3,500 acres of flora, fauna, trees, and animals at the Holden

at Headlands
Beach State Park
Recommended by the Locals
Home of the “Remarkable Sunset,” Headlands Beach
State Park is the longest natural beach in Ohio and is
ranked as Ohio's #1 beach. The mile-long beach attracts
two million visitors a year from the U.S. and Canada. It
boasts a mile-long natural sand beach, which is home to
many plant species typically found only along the Atlantic
Coast. Whether you’re a “beach bum” or prefer to hike and
explore, Headlands Beach has something for everyone. In
the summer you’ll find sunbathing spots, swimming and
picnic areas, but also parts of the beach in its natural state,
including dunes, driftwood and an abundance of wildlife.
Seated near the break wall, you’ll find our historic lighthouse
that can be accessed by both water and walking. Built
in 1925, this lighthouse was constructed at the mouth of
the Grand River to replace the original Fairport Harbor
Lighthouse, which serves as a maritime museum, and sits on
a hill in Fairport overlooking the lake. Visitors will find plenty
of free parking, restrooms, concession stands, and changing
areas for swimmers or sunbathers.
Experience
The Grand River
Valley Wineries
Ohio is ranked in the top ten wine-producing states in the
U.S. and Lake County is the proud home to eleven wineries,
including Ohio’s largest estate winery and family vineyard,
Debonne Vineyards. The Grand River Valley’s location near
Lake Erie makes our soil ideal for growing a variety of grapes
like Concord, Niagara, Delaware, and Catawba, as well as
European grapes like Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot
Noir and Cabernet Franc, allowing our vintners to create
a wide variety of wines each year. Many of the wineries
provide live music and entertainment with picturesque views,
making them a hit for relaxing afternoons, bridal parties, and
get-togethers. The Grand River Valley Ice Wine Festival is one
of Ohio’s most celebrated winter traditions. Each year, local
wineries come together to celebrate the region's famous ice
wine. During the event, participating wineries offer samples of
their ice wines along with a complimentary appetizer. In past
years, our wineries have also featured fun activities like ice
carving, dog sledding, and marshmallow roasts.

and “adventure." Bringing in nearly 3.3 million visitors a

Play Ball at
