Huron is a perch-and-walleye town. Four places on and around Main Street do lake fish properly, there is pizza that has been going since 1991, and Toft’s ice cream is scooped out of a vintage Airstream a short walk from the lighthouse.

For a drink, Mulberry Creek on Bogart Road is a working winery on a certified-organic herb farm inside the city. The breweries are all a short drive — Sandusky, Catawba, Berlin Heights. And this is a seasonal lake town: hours move about and some places close for the winter, so ring ahead between November and April.
