Food Scene
The Hen House Eatery
Serves breakfast, coffee & lots of other food!
Set in a picturesque yard next to the farm, you can visit with horses, see where your food grows and where the chickens live that lay the eggs in your breakfast sandwich. Great coffee, delicious food, great hosts. Seating under the tent is limited so get there early, or wear sunscreen and enjoy the picnic tables.

Great view and long-time solid location, serving perch snack and local brews. Try any of the Knechtel family locations (The Fisherman's Catch, Erie Beach Hotel, The Arbour and more) for local food with lakeside flair.

This is a fairly hidden pebble/rock beach with nice swimming. Drive past the Oneida Camp and turn left (south) into small parking lot / driveway. Not maintained, so expect a bit of seaweed on this natural shore.
