Find the Perfect Destination for Your Driving Vacation from Detroit

 

Central Ohio

Before you leave Detroit, you need to choose a destination. If your goal is to reconnect with nature and escape the busy city, then Central Ohio is the place for you! Visit the heart of the state and admire its gorgeous fields, farms, and rolling hills. With many state parks and historical landmarks, Central Ohio is the perfect setting for those who seek a peaceful retreat.

Discover the vast array of things to do in the town of Bucyrus. Our quaint community is close to all the top attractions in the state. Visit the Mansfield Reformatory and dive into the location of one of Hollywood’s best films, the Shawshank Redemption. Or, ride along the Marion Tallgrass Bike trail, go wine tasting at White Shutter Winery, and explore Cedar Point Amusement Park!


Map Out Your Road Trip

Did you know that driving from Detroit to Bucyrus only takes two and a half hours? This gives you plenty of time to enjoy a relaxing road trip with your loved ones. Take I-75 South to avoid traffic, then follow OH 15-E until you reach US 23-S. From there, take Old Lincoln Highway in Holmes Township, then the CR 330 exit. It will take you right to S. Sandusky Avenue in Bucyrus!

On the way, don’t hesitate to stop in Toledo, OH, to visit the zoo or the Museum of Art. Make sure you grab a bite at Real Seafood Company before hitting the road again. Their shrimp scampi is to die for!
