Have you fished at Portage River? Be the first to comment on this fishing spot.
Approximately 60 miles (100 km) in length, the Portage River and its tributaries, the Middle Branch and North Branch, meanders across Ottawa, Sandusky, and Wood counties in northwest Ohio before it empties into Lake Erie at Port Clinton. It most likely derives its name from early explorers who were forced to portage or carry their canoes and boats around the river's intermittent shallows and rapids.
