Hotel Conneaut - A Remembrance

Hotel Conneaut - A RemembranceA heard a short time ago that the lake resort where I went as a kid, and continued to go to as an adult is no longer around. Afer several years of struggling to stay open, Conneaut Lake Park has met the final fate of closing.

Besides the endless days of running parent-free through the park, swimming in the lake or going to a corn dog, staying at the Hotel Conneaut was always a highlight. The hotel was a jewel in the crown of the park.


I will admit that the hotel had seen better days. Without any air conditioning, phones or televisions in the room, the Hotel Conneaut was not in the least modern. However, the hotel's huge porch and incredible lake views, I spent more good times laughing on the front porch than I can remember.


It will be missed!
