Get your tour ticket to this historical fun-in-the-sun bikeway adventure at Buckeye Lake! Explore the sights and museum of what made this manmade lake crucial in the early growth of the United States of America and then later, the 'Playground of Ohio' with its amusement park, dance hall, hotels, and lake attractions.

"The Buckeye Lake Amusement Park opened in 1901 and was referred to as “The Playground of Ohio.” In its heyday, crowds as large as 50,000 would come to visit the attractions, which included rides, a skating rink, boating excursions, swimming, and dining. The park also had two large ballrooms, The Crystal Ball Room and Lake Breeze Pier Dance Hall, which often hosted popular big bands including Louis Armstrong and Tommy Dorsey. Radio broadcasts that could be heard across the country were also recorded in the Pier Ballroom." source: Licking County Library - Buckeye Lake Amusement Park

You have lots of options on this adventure - pick from a 10 mile, 14 mile, 18 mile, or 21 mile route. Make it a short fun bikeway adventure along the lake... or make a day of it - go swimming at the beach, enjoy lakeside dining with live music, visit the Buckeye Lake Historical Society Museum (Admission: $4 donation for adults; $2 donation for seniors; $1 donation for children), taste old fashioned ice cream in a vintage ice cream factory, ponder canal side at the historical Deep Cut marker (The Deep Cut is considered by some historians as one of the greatest engineering feats in Ohio's first half-century), take in the natural beauty of Ohio's oldest State Park - Buckeye Lake State Park, find the trailside Buckeye Lake historical marker, see (or even tour) the environmental quirk of the floating Cranberry Bog State Nature Preserve, check out the numerous shops, breweries, and local attractions, and maybe even take a boat tour on Buckeye Lake.
