The Cedar Point peninsula, formerly called a cape although now it is actually an island, is located northeast of Sandusky, Ohio in Lake Erie.[1] In early documentation,[clarification needed] it was a 7-mile long peninsula that connected at its eastern end directly to the Ohio mainland, near Huron, Ohio;[1] however, in the early 20th century, Lake Erie's waves completely eroded away the eastern end.
As of 2020[update] it is approximately 5.5 miles (8.9 km) in length, and two constructed roadways connect the peninsula to the mainland. At the western end is the Cedar Point amusement park, which was founded in 1888 by the Cedar Point Pleasure Resort Company.[2]
Plus, besides the amusement park, there are also many private residences all along the rest of the island.
This Cedar Point should not be confused with the Cedar Point Cape Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge at Toledo Maumee Bay that is now a government park nature preservation on that other Cedar Point on Lake Erie.
