Not terribly exotic, but we took the boat up to Grand Lake St. Mary on Sunday. The in-laws are regulars at the big campground up there so we went up for the day. Their 5th wheel is giant so we could have easily stayed, but we have to get home to take care of pets. Took the boat out and cruised the lake for a bit. Hit up one place on the lake to eat, dragged the wife around on the inflatable, and then a bar that had a band playing.
Grand Lake is still really off to me. Not a terrible dive, about 2 hours straight north of Cincinnati. It's a huge lake, just over 13,000 acres, but it's only 10 feet deep at its deepest spot which is only two little spots towards the middle. The majority is only 6-8 feet deep. It was manmade in the 1800's as the water supply for the Erie Canal. It's had problems with algae, which I am certain is because it is so shallow. I keep saying, the state needs to pony up and dredge it. If it had a normal "lake ecology", it'd be a huge draw for tourists.
