East Harbor State Park, OH, United States
How to get to East Harbor State Park
East Harbor State Park sits on the Marblehead Peninsula about 20 minutes east of Port Clinton and roughly an hour (60 miles) southeast of Toledo via Ohio Route 2 and Route 269. From Cleveland, it is about 75 miles west, a 90-minute drive along Interstate 90 and Route 2. RV drivers should watch for the Edison Bridge approach and seasonal lakeshore winds that can affect high-profile vehicles; there are no tunnels or major grades on the route. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Cleveland Hopkins International (CLE), with Toledo Express (TOL) and Detroit Metro (DTW) as alternatives.
