GETTING TO THE BAY
Put in Bay, Ohio, is located on the crown jewel of the Lake Erie Islands, South Bass Island. More than half a million people visit the island - nicknamed the Key West of the North - every year.
Getting to Put in Bay island is half the fun! The island is on Lake Erie, approximately 5 miles from Catawba Island and Port Clinton, Ohio. There are two different companies with ferry service to the island: The Jet Express and The Miller Ferry. Visit their Web sites to get directions to their docks.
Driving directions to the Jet Express
The fastest way to Put-in-Bay!
The Jet Express is a passenger-only ferry that has three high-speed boats that travel between Port Clinton and downtown Put in Bay. The Jet Express offers passengers weather-protected seating indoors or a refreshing open-air ride outdoors. Traveling at speeds of more than 40 mph, it offers the smoothest, fastest ride across Lake Erie to Put in Bay Island.
During your trip, you'll learn interesting history about the region and pass seven different Lake Erie Islands before you arrive in downtown Put in Bay, Lake Erie's number one island destination and vacation hotspot.
