Perrysburg

Perrysburg, a quiet suburb of Toledo, offers proximity to secluded nature, fine dining, and the shores of Lake Erie. In the morning, catch the sunrise from a kayak as you head out to Audubon Islands State Nature Preserve, featuring 170 unspoiled acres of nature and wildlife. In the afternoon, visit Side Cut Metropark on the banks of the river to relax and even fish for walleye in the spring. History lovers can instead head to Fort Meigs Historic Site to catch a battle reenactment of the War of 1812. Afterward, drive up to Lake Erie to catch the sunset before heading into Toledo for dinner and drinks at Georgio's Cafe International or Kengo Sushi & Yakitori.
