About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Inland Marina in Oak Harbor provides boat ramp access to Turtle Creek and frontal Lake Erie in Ottawa County. The site is conveniently located near major recreational areas, including Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge, making it an excellent launch point for exploring the region's wildlife viewing opportunities.

**What to Expect**
This ramp serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters accessing both the creek system and Lake Erie. The location offers access to protected marsh and wildlife areas, as well as open water paddling. Given its proximity to two national wildlife refuges, paddlers should be aware of any seasonal restrictions or regulations protecting nesting and migratory bird populations in the area.

**Nearby Resources**
Other launching options in the area include Metzger Marsh (with both lake and marsh launch ramps) and Turtle Creek Marina & Campground, which offers additional services like fuel, slips, and camping facilities. Be sure to check current regulations with Ohio Division of Wildlife before your visit, particularly if paddling through sensitive wildlife refuge areas.
