OHIO: Route 5 along Lake Erie

Hello Jim, Wondering if you might be inquiring about Route 6? From Toledo eastward one can take Route 2 through Bono, Port Clinton, over the Sandusky Bay Bridge, and then pick up Route 6 eastbound on the west side of Huron, Ohio. 6 then takes you east into Clevo's west 'burbs and out the E side where you'll want to jog north to more follow the lakeshore perhaps again on 2 and then 20. At Geneva cut north on Ohio Rt. 534 to Geneva-on-the-Lake and then proceed E on Ohio Rt. 531 to Conneaut. Jog back to Route 20, then to PA Route 5 for Erie, PA. If you go through Erie you should allow time to do the driving tour of their Presque Isle State Park!

 

We -all- know you're NOT an idiot. I have no familiarity with PA-5 along the Erie lakeshore. But it would be a fun drive and keep you from the unscrupulous and exorbitant tolls demanded by the Ohio Turnpike!
