Oak Harbor, where art thou?
Once centered around a thriving lumber industry, the buzz you’ll hear about Oak Harbor nowadays has nothing to do with sawmills. Set alongside the Portage River, it’s only a 10-mile drive from the shores of Lake Erie. While much of Oak Harbor is residential, Downtown’s Water Street is lined with mom-and-pop shops, restaurants, and bars. An agricultural hub, Oak Harbor is known for its apple orchards and sprawling farmland. Your centrally located Oak Harbor vacation rental will put you right in the heart of the American heartland.
Oak Harbor – the very best of the midwest
Oak Harbor is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Lake Erie, where you’ll find a long stretch of sandy shoreline. Boating, kayaking, and other water sports are popular, and both Lake Erie and the Portage River offer boat ramps, marinas, and plenty of charter and rental agencies. Looking for a more relaxed outdoor experience? Check out the Little Portage River Wildlife Area, 407 marshy acres that are home to several species of wading and migratory birds. Fishing and hunting are permitted, and you can also enjoy the park’s many walking trails.
Wildlife and wild rides in Oak Harbor
On the shore of Lake Erie, the sprawling Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge features more than 6,800 acres of preserved wetland, where you’ll find epic birdwatching during spring and summer’s peak migration seasons. Traveling with kids? The Cedar Point amusement park to the east is a must, boasting 17 roller coasters, as well as kids’ rides, games, and entertainment. If you want to learn more about Oak Harbor’s past, a trip to the museum of the Ottawa County Historical Society will put you face to face with local history.

Oak Harbor – living off the flat of the land

The Portage River marks the southern boundary of Oak Harbor, flowing east until it empties into Lake Erie at Port Clinton. The marshy Little Portage River Wildlife Area is home to waterfowl and migratory birds, as well as muskrat and rabbits, and sportfishers are drawn to the area for its bullhead and catfish populations.
