Welcome to Ashtabula County…Our Lake Awaits! With thirty miles of Lake Erie shoreline, seventeen picturesque covered bridges including America’s longest spanning six hundred feet, towering above the Indian Tail Park System and a section of the Lower Ashtabula River and the largest grape growing region in the State of Ohio, we have a lot to offer on your next vacation. Tour our rolling landscape along country roads and immerse yourself in our Western Reserve Architecture and Midwestern Charm. Experience street festivals in our historic downtowns, take a stroll in our Metroparks or cast your line for a record steelhead trout in one of our two Wild and Scenic Rivers.
Perched atop the remnants of glacial beaches and covered with vines planted over generations, the Lake Erie and Grand River Valley growing regions are second to none. Ashtabula County is home to a microclimate which grows 65% of all grapes in Ohio! Rolling hills lined with Viniferas and French/American Hybrids give this unique growing region the feel of Napa Valley. During the deep freeze of a Northeast Ohio winter ice wine is created. Picked by moonlight, with a backdrop of snow and stars, the berries are frozen solid then pressed to release the sweet nectar-like juice. Fermented and decoratively bottled, Ashtabula County is fast becoming a premier area in the production of ice wine.
Peak fall foliage brings hews of gold and orange to the sugar maples and creates a magical backdrop for our newest covered bridge. Ashtabula County is the Covered Bridge Capital of Ohio. Visit our annual Covered Bridge Festival the second weekend in October. The annual Grape JAMboree Festival highlights our grape harvest the last full weekend each September. Join us for some grape stomping fun!
Kick back and enjoy a week long vacation in one of our lakeshore cottages, State Park lakeshore Lodge, finely appointed B&Bs or at one of our seventeen campgrounds. Family gatherings along Lake Erie’s southern shoreline is a past time enjoyed by many. With cool lake breezes, and plenty to do for all ages, Ashtabula County is a great place to connect with family and friends. Make sure you pack your cameras for your trip to Ashtabula County…Our Lake Awaits!
