Geography
Sandusky Bay is a body of water situated in between Erie[1], Ottawa[2], and Sandusky[3] counties in the U.S. state of Ohio and just to the south of Lake Erie[4]. It was identified as Lac (Lake) Sandouské on a 1718 map by Guillaume DeLisle. [5] Sandusky Bay runs from Muddy Creek Bay[6] to Cedar Point[7], which is part of Sandusky. The Sandusky River drains into the bay at its westernmost point. The Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge carries Route 2 and Route 269 across Sandusky Bay at its Eastern end. This is the only direct highway link between Ottawa and Erie Counties. Sandusky Bay can be viewed from Marblehead Lighthouse at Marblehead Lighthouse State Park. [8] The Sandusky Bay Water Trail was dedicated on June 2, 2007 to provide recreational opportunities along Sandusky Bay. [9]
