LaCarpe Creek Yacht Club Marina

Located in Port Clinton, Ottawa County, this boat ramp provides access to the waters surrounding this Lake Erie gateway community. The facility is situated near several significant natural areas, including the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge, making it an excellent starting point for paddlers and boaters interested in exploring protected ecosystems and viewing migratory bird populations.

Kayakers and canoeists launching from this marina should be prepared for potential wind and wave conditions typical of Lake Erie and its connecting waters. The proximity to wildlife refuges means paddlers should familiarize themselves with any seasonal restrictions or guidelines to protect nesting areas and wildlife. Before launching, check current conditions and tide information, as this area experiences variable water conditions. The facility's marina setting suggests amenities may be available, though paddlers should contact the marina directly to confirm parking, launch fees, and any specific access requirements or hour restrictions.
