In the later-1700s, the schooners sailing on Lake Erie would put into this bay, to wait out bad weather on Lake Erie. (Many of the unfamiliar sailors used the slang phonetic term, puddin' (or pudding) bay, resulting in later local-historians' attempt to attribute various explanations for the term "pudding bay", which, in reality, had no meaning, but was simply a slang phonetic variant of "Put-in-Bay".)When using our United States day trip planner, you're building your holiday based on your own interests, visitor reviews, and the informed opinions of our well-traveled writers.
