Marblehead Lighthouse State Park is located in Marblehead, Ohio and is a popular tourist destination. One of the main reasons to visit the park is to see the famous Marblehead Lighthouse, which has been in operation since 1822. The lighthouse is the oldest continuously-operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes and offers visitors a chance to climb to the top for stunning views of Lake Erie.

In addition to the lighthouse, the park offers a variety of recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and picnicking. Visitors can also explore the nearby attractions such as the Marblehead Lighthouse Museum and the nearby Cedar Point amusement park.

Interesting facts about the area include that the lighthouse was almost destroyed during the War of 1812, but was saved by a teenage girl who kept the lantern lit during an attack. Additionally, the lighthouse was once home to the first female lighthouse keeper on the Great Lakes.

The best time of year to visit Marblehead Lighthouse State Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and sunny. However, visitors should be aware that the park can be crowded during peak season.
