EB's Place offers a concrete boat ramp providing direct access to the Portage River in Port Clinton. The ramp features two lanes and is 16 feet wide, accommodating kayaks, canoes, and larger motorboats. This is a straightforward public access point for launching onto the river without amenities directly at the site.
The Portage River in this area flows through historically significant landscape—the region was once part of the Great Black Swamp and now borders the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, making it an excellent choice for paddlers interested in wildlife viewing and scenic paddling. The proximity to Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial and nearby wildlife refuge lands adds cultural and natural history context to your visit. Before launching, check current water conditions and tide levels, as this section of the Portage River is influenced by Lake Erie's proximity.
