Ohio whitewater, Portage River Sandusky county, Woodville to Elmore section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     4 miles   The Put In And Take Out Markers Are Misplaced On Map And Missing 2 Spots That Are Good Put In/Take Outs. Elmore Has 2 Spots. One Is Accurately Marked. The other is down stream about half mile at the water treatment plant and park. The bank is steep but parking available. WOODVILLE IS WAY OFF. They have a park along portage river that has a good ''put in/take out'' and parking. Pemberville in high water (3.5 or higher) at ''WILLIAM     HENRY HARRISON PARK'' IS VERY CONVENIENT! I believe Oak Harbor has a new launch and may have a fee. Oak harbor to Lake Erie is open and flat. No current to work with. Power boats can navigate from, just east of Oak Harbor to Lake Erie. Says Chuck I kayaked from Pemberville to Woodville then Woodville to Elmore. Both were very scenic. Two eagles on the trip to Elmore. Watch the water level, need at least 2.9 feet national weather service. Portage River At Woodville (WDVO1.) We did drag some bottom !BEST BET IS TO GO AFTER A RAIN, 3.2 OR BETTER. We did Woodville to Elmore in just over an hour AT 4.1! BUT 2 AND HALF HOURS AT 2.9 a few weeks later. June 2017.   Says CHUCK The starting location is a reasonable drive from Fremont, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. The wonderful Sandusky County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Portage River attract people from near and far. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here.
