Turtle Creek Marina & Campground

Located in Oak Harbor on Turtle Creek near Lake Erie, this full-service marina provides convenient public boat ramp access for paddlers and boaters exploring the Turtle Creek and frontal Lake Erie area. The facility accommodates vessels up to 40 feet and offers amenities including a fuel dock, pump-out station, and restrooms. The marina serves as an excellent base for accessing the scenic waterways near the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, a 1,500-acre area rich in bird watching and natural history along what was once part of the Great Black Swamp.

In addition to the boat ramp, Turtle Creek Marina & Campground offers overnight lodging options with seasonal and transient boat slips, RV/camper sites, and a lakefront beach area. This makes it ideal for multi-day paddling trips or longer stays. The adjacent West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge (established in 1938) provides additional paddling destinations nearby. With on-site services including a carry-out store and tackle shop, the marina is well-suited for anglers and family boaters exploring Lake Erie's northern coast.
