Take A Dip In Lake Erie

Maumee Bay State Park’s landscape is a unique environment created by the convergence of the land and Lake Erie. The park features two sand beaches — on the Lake Erie shore and along the park’s inland lake. Restrooms and outdoor showers are provided between the two beaches.

Stop By The Imagination Station

Experience hundreds of interactive exhibits, activities and demonstrations that teach vital science concepts at the Imagination Station. From engineering to animation, the STEAM museum offers unique hands-on fun for all ages.
