Tow Trailers Enjoy Winter Elegance

Tow Trailers Enjoy Winter Elegance
By Gail Leino

Sunrise finds fiery purpose while the campers sip orange juice, eat eggs benedict and read the morning Toledo Blade. Sunset melts into the lake as the exhausted campers listen to the grand piano while drinking Dom Perignon in Maumee Bay State Park's Water's Edge Restaurant.

When they bought the 50 foot tow trailer they nearly experienced buyers' remorse. Sure they got an incredible off season deal but there would be no money left in the budget for the annual Christmas vacation. Or would there? Bingo! They found to their amazement that Ohio's many state parks are open year around with many modern electric sites. What's even more amazing than winter camping was the existence of good roads to many of these that are safe even in winter. And to their utter amazement they found that there is sophisticated elegance in some of these parks. With over 130 years of camping history Ohio has evolved a list of 73 state park campgrounds with a large variety of flora, fauna, facilities and activities.

Both Maumee Bay's lodge Water's Edge Restaurant and IceBreaker Lounge offer a wine list that include local Firelands and Mon Ami wines as well as Champaign, Asti Spumante, Chardonnay, Riesling. Blush, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Haut Sauterne, Pink Catawba, Gewurztraminer and White Zinfandel from an array of domestic and imported vintners. Despite modern lodge surroundings the dress is casual and reservations are not required.

The Dinner menu includes Ohio Perch, local favorites trout and walleye as well as the usual assortment of pastas, steaks, pork and seafood. Lunch can be simpler say a Lobster Bisque and Bay Salad.

But elegance isn't everything. There's more to Maumee Bay than Golf and Spa facilities. One small example is the two mile boardwalk at Lake Erie's edge through restored wetlands. This brief glimpse through six- to eight- foot tall vegetation reminds the visitor of what wetland's preservation (the specific mission of this park) is all about.
