Ruins of Boblo Island

[Dan]

At the southern tip of the island there is a block house made of huge timbers, even when the park was open this thing was off the beaten path. You could look out the rectangular holes [[ for rifles) out into Lake Erie.

A few years after the park closed I remember taking a boat out there and playing in the fort.

It certainly predated the park, it was not the fort with the fake guns etc, this was the real deal. It had to be at least 100 years old.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I remember that building! You could see it when you took the train ride around the island. I always wondered about what it had been used for and how old it was. Is it still there???
