Across Sandusky Bay, Ohio... how?
I am plotting a route around lake erie
I think that highway 2 across Sandusky Bay is closed to bikes. Topo USA shows me Yetter Rd going across the bay parallel to hwy 2. I don't remember that, but its been years since I've driven through. Does this road exist? Has it always been there or is it new? thx CRM. |

Across Sandusky Bay, Ohio... how?
My wife and I bicycled around Lake Erie from Pittsburgh a number of years
ago. We went south and around the bay. It added a day to our trip. We camped in a town that had some tourist attraction called "the blue hole." If you are planning on riding from Detriot to Canada, I have noticed some comments that you cannot take your bike on the sidewalk on the bridge. When we traveled we were able to do it. Our original plan was to take the ferry from Sandusky to Point Pelle (sp), but we were too early in the season, and it was not running yet. So we had to bike through Toledo, and then over to Canada through Detriot. The whole trip was around four weeks, but we took our time. Tom |

Across Sandusky Bay, Ohio... how?
on my recent xcty trip I came into sandusky from leamington, ont via ferry( in
aug it comes from kingsville instead). I took 2 at Huron 2 turns into freeway but there's a sort of "old" 2 that goes around that section. after that I headed south so cant tell you anymore about 2 after that point. gebuh I am plotting a route around lake erie I think that highway 2 across Sandusky Bay is closed to bikes.

I think that highway 2 across Sandusky Bay is closed to bikes. My information is old, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend this... but in 1992, I cycled on highway 2 across Sandusky Bay despite signs prohibiting bicyles. --mev, Mike Vermeulen |

It is an old road that had a draw bridge that has been removed, maybe 20 years ago. The remaining road is used as a fishing pier. You have two choices, go all the way around the bay via Freemont or cross the bay bridge in violation of the posted signs. I do not know if you will be fined or reprimanded if you are caught. I do know a number of people who have ridden across the bridge, myself included. It's been about ten years. There is a reasonable shoulder. I'd call a bike shop in Sandusky and Freemont and ask what the locals do and if there is a good time of day to cross, depending on your direction of travel. Bill |
