Geneva-on-the-Lake
15 min drive
Ohio's first summer resort: a lakefront mile of arcades, food stands, patio bars and live music, running since 1869.
Geneva-on-the-Lake has been a resort town since 1869: the oldest in Ohio. The Strip runs a mile along the lakefront: arcades, food stands, patio bars, mini golf and live music most summer nights. It is loud where the estate is quiet, which is exactly the point of an evening there.
From the innkeepers
Go at dusk: the Strip is at its best after dark, and the drive along Route 531 catches the sunset over the lake.
