Kelleys Island State Park, State park on Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, Ohio, US
Kelleys Island State Park encompasses 677 acres of land with limestone cliffs, nature preserves, and a 100-foot swimming beach along Lake Erie's shoreline.
The state park, established in 1956, preserves geological formations shaped by glaciers during the ice age that formed the Great Lakes region.
The park maintains two distinct nature preserves, North Pond and North Shore, which protect native wildlife and plants in their natural Lake Erie island habitat.
Visitors access the park via ferry from Sandusky or Marblehead Peninsula and can stay at 129 campsites, including 84 with electrical connections and two furnished yurts.
The park contains geological formations in limestone that display deep marks carved by ancient glaciers, documenting the movement of ice sheets across the region.
