Luna Pier

I used to have quite a few friends who lived in Luna Pier back when I lived in Monroe and I went to school at the University of Toledo in Ohio. Luna Pier is in a nice central location between Monroe and Toledo as it is only a few miles from the border.

There are only maybe 1,500 people living here and most of the area is pretty rural. The crescent-shaped pier that is 800 feet long and stretches 200 feet into Lake Erie, is a popular place for fishing. There are plenty of locations in the area to have a picnic or go for a hike.

Everyone knows everyone in Luna Pier. It’s a small community that watches out for one another. This is a great place to have children as the Mason School District is fantastic and the crime rate is extremely low.

There are a few little stores in Luna Pier, but you have to go into the city for large grocery store, malls a gym or tanning salon. When you need to gas your vehicle, go over the state line into Toledo, it is typically a lot less expensive.

The downfall of Luna Pier is that it gets hit hard with Mayflies! I have seen them completely cover houses, cars and gas stations in the spring. Although they don’t bite or sting, they do smell awful the next day when they are baking in the sun!
