Wineries, museums, historical sites and of course, lighthouses are all available to enjoy on the island. Numerous locally-owned restaurants can also be found in Put-In-Bay. The surrounding area also features antique shops, as well as an eclectic blend of restaurants. Other recreational activities found locally include animal attractions and various recreational and natural sites, as well as several parks. Many of these offer hiking, camping and picnicking, and water-based activities. Due to its location, and the fact that this portion of the lake usually freezes in the winter, the island is not accessible by car during the winter months. Some people do remain on the island year-round, with they and their supplies being transported by plane.
