Back Roads and Beaches

Back Roads and Beaches We’re working on updating the BRaB maps and website for 2010. Adding new stops and making a slight route change that will include the new, sustainable, Vermilion Valley Vineyards on the route. That makes six wineries on or just off of, Back Roads and Beaches. Some of the wineries also make for great meal stops along the route.

Hi Lisa, I know there are lots of people around north central Ohio that kayak. Especially the Black River. And now with the new Water Trail, there should be lots of discussion when the season gets closer. Welcome!
