**Location & Access**
Dutch Harbor is a boat ramp access point on Mill Creek in North Benton, Portage County, Ohio. The site is reached via River Road near Mago Vista Road. This location provides convenient access to Mill Creek's lower reaches, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats seeking a calm-water paddling experience.
**Facilities & Nearby Amenities**
The ramp provides straightforward launching access to the creek. Paddlers should note that parking and facility conditions may vary, so it's worth calling ahead or checking current conditions. The area offers two nearby campgrounds within 10 miles—Mill Creek Campground (with dump station and showers) and Mill Creek Camping at Berlin Lake—both reservable for overnight trips. The relatively protected waters of Mill Creek make this a good option for paddlers seeking mellow conditions.

Berlin Lake and the historic Deerfield area with its old stagecoach station are nearby, as is West Branch State Park at Michael J. Kirwan Lake, which offers additional fishing and outdoor opportunities for extended visits to the area.
