There’s an extra special dining lodge tucked away in Lake Hope State Park that you need to try. The atmosphere is peaceful, the food is exceptionally delicious and the surroundings are breathtaking.

With fresh fish caught daily and cooked with expertise, you will experience what is arguably the best perch sandwich in Ohio at New Sandusky Fish Company.

A rolling cart that's served burgers in the same location for nearly 100 years features a serious burger. The catch? You'll find no cheese, ketchup or mustard here.
