EAT, DRINK AND BE MARITIME:

Peer over Presque Isle Bay at Oliver’s Rooftop, atop the Hampton Inn & Suites in Erie, Pennsylvania.

MEET YOU AT MOSELEY’S:

The boutique Hotel Kilbourne’s Moseley’s Rooftop Bar overlooks Sandusky, Ohio’s renovated Jackson Street Pier, the bay and Cedar Point. Sip on a margarita or mimosa — or try a craft beer on tap.

FASHIONABLY FALLS:

Lake views and aperitifs abound at Lake Erie’s rooftop bars. Here are three of our favorites. 1

Cabana or barstool? You decide at the Fallsview Rooftop Bar in Niagara Falls, Ontario, perched atop the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel. It’s the only pool with views of the falls, and you can reserve a Fireworks Experience that comes with an artisan cheeseboard and bottle of prosecco. fallsavenueresort.com

Fly in the Sky

Ziplining is even more thrilling when done in the dark.

Lake Erie Canopy Tours, at The Lodge at Geneva-on-the-Lake in eastern Ohio, has been offering ziplining over its state park for years now. But, starting this summer, it’s offering a new perspective — the woods at nighttime. The zipline still soars at speeds up to 30 mph from towers as high as 60 feet off the ground, but it’s available exclusively on Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. and features the back half of the full tour. $89 per person, lakeeriecanopytours.com
