Hidden Harbor

Hidden Harbor, located in Port Clinton on Lacarpe Creek near Lake Erie's frontal waters, provides boat ramp access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This site offers a convenient launch point for paddlers looking to explore Lacarpe Creek and access the greater Lake Erie area. The site's proximity to Port Clinton makes it an accessible option for those launching in Ottawa County.

Paddlers should note that this appears to be a private marina facility (Shmidlin's Hidden Harbor) with boat ramp access. Those planning to launch should contact the facility in advance to confirm current access policies, availability for different vessel types, and any associated fees or requirements. The site accommodates boats 28 feet and under. Nearby, Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial offers historical interest for those exploring the region's War of 1812 heritage.

**Before visiting, contact the facility directly to confirm hours of operation, parking availability, and launch fees.**
