Catawba Island State Park is a 10-acre recreation area with the access to Lake Erie, located in Port Clinton, Ohio.
Catawba Island is not actually an island but is a part of the Ottawa County peninsula. A fishing pier juts out into the lake, providing fishermen with a great spot for catching yellow perch, smallmouth and white bass, channel catfish, and walleye.
There are two picnic areas with restrooms and a picnic shelter. There are no overnight facilities available. Swimming is permitted during the day but there are no guards, so swim at your own risk and keep an eye on the kids.
The beaches are made of stone and large pebbles so you will need a lounge chair to enjoy the sun. In the winter, if it gets really cold, the beach becomes spot for ice skating and ice fishing.
