Conneaut Lake · The outdoor list

Trails, docks, farms, markets.

The boat launch with the deepest channel. The trail to the gorge. The farm stand that takes Venmo. The icon you've heard of and the one you haven't.

  • Conneaut Lake
    Conneaut Lake Park
    Editor's pick

    One of the oldest amusement parks in the country, running since 1892 under its original name of Exposition Park — a carousel, bumper cars, the Devil's Den dark ride, and a handful of other classic attractions. The park has survived four fires and three bankruptcies and changed hands again in 2021; it's operating in 2026 but with a smaller ride lineup and limited hours (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) than its historic peak. Go for the history as much as the rides.
