The day we had a golf cart, we went to the light house. Per someone else's review, we got some subs from subway in town and brought our lunch. There are several picnic tables on the site so it was nice to be on the edge of the cliff and watch the water and eat lunch. There are several signs around the grounds to read. But without lunch, you can cover it all in 10 minutes. But it is worth going out to if you have a golf cart.See more..

4.0Vermilion Lighthouse(10 reviews) - Romantic stroll on lakefront Lighthouses • Scenic Walking Areas
My wife and I have been coming here for quite some time. Vermillion in a quaint lakeside summer tourist town that has lots to offer the visitor. This year's Covid however threw everything under the bus, not sure what was open or closed most of the time. One thing you can always enjoy however if the Vermillion lighthouse. It is a romantic stroll along the waterfront in the evening that is really great. Albeit a short stroll as there are private homes on each side of the lighthouse, it is still very inviting especially on a warm summer eveSee more..

My wife and I lived in Coshocton, Ohio 40 years ago and occasionally go back to visit. We had seen an article about this lighthouse in Country Magazine and decided to try and find it. It is located on Township Road 45 and is easy to find off of State Route 36 where there are signs pointing you in the right direction. You can see the top of the lighthouse fro SR36 if you look closely. The lighthouse is very well done and set in a beautiful location. Visiting hours are 9AM to 3PM Monday through Friday. Gospel Hill is a non denominational Christian Ministry led by Evangelist Ron Davis. There is no cost to visit the site and tour the lighthouse. Visiting is a truly wonderful experience.See more..
