The Portage River branches run northeast from Wood County & north from Hancock County to Pemberville in eastern Wood County, where it becomes one river, then into Sandusky County, and meanders across Ottawa County through Elmore & Oak Harbor before it empties into Lake Erie at what is now 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. It is approximately 41.5 miles (66.8 km) in length.

| - Der Portage River ist ein Zufluss des Eriesees an dessen Südufer im nordwestlichen US-Bundesstaat Ohio. Der Portage River entwässert zusammen mit seinen Nebenflüssen insgesamt 1.559 km², die im Einzugsbereich des Eriesees liegen. Der Hauptstrom entsteht bei New Rochester im Wood County durch den Zusammenfluss von Middle Branch und South Branch Portage River, fließt generell in ostnordöstlicher Richtung und mündet nach rund 100 km bei Port Clinton im Ottawa County in den Eriesee. Der Quellfluss Middle Branch Portage River entsteht durch den Zusammenfluss von Needles Creek und Bader Creek etwa 12 km südwestlich der Ortschaft Bowling Green im Wood County (41° 15′ 9″ N, 83° 44′ 1″ W), fließt nach Nordosten und mündet bei New Rochester in den Portage River. Der zweite Quellfluss South Branch Portage River entspringt etwa 4 km südlich der Ortschaft Arcadia im Hancock County (41° 4′ 19″ N, 83° 31′ 5″ W) und fließt generell nach Norden bis zum Zusammenfluss mit dem Middle Branch. Der Name „Portage“ stammt vermutlich von den ersten Besuchern des Flusses, die aufgrund der zahlreichen Untiefen und Stromschnellen im Flusslauf gezwungen waren, ihre Kanus und Boote häufig zu tragen. Die Mündung des Flusses hat sich mindestens zweimal in den letzten drei Jahrhunderten verändert. Karten aus dem Jahr 1754 zeigen die Mündung 30 km nordwestlich in der Nähe des heutigen Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, während der Fluss noch früher 10 km nordöstlich beim heutigen West Harbor in den Eriesee mündete.

- The Portage River branches run northeast from Wood County & north from Hancock County to Pemberville in eastern Wood County, where it becomes one river, then into Sandusky County, and meanders across Ottawa County through Elmore & Oak Harbor before it empties into Lake Erie at what is now 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. It is approximately 41.5 miles (66.8 km) in length. Native Americans were the first to use the river as a food source and for transportation. In 1782, a trader wrote to a merchant in Detroit, "it is expected there will be two French traders at or near Little Island or the Portash [sic] River." In 1850 the Ohio legislature passed the first of several laws mandating the draining of the Great Black Swamp into the Portage and Maumee rivers. This led to the creation of many of the tributaries, streams, and ditches feeding the Portage River. Drainage system changes have caused the Portage River to shift the location of its mouth at least twice in the past three hundred years. Maps recorded in 1754 show the mouth near the present location of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Prior to that, the river emptied into Lake Erie near West Harbor. Despite its shallow depth, the river is relatively clean, reaching 76 percent of Ohio EPA standards. Environmental concerns include nonpoint pollution sources, inappropriate land use, and sewage discharge. Due to PCB contamination, the Ohio EPA recommends no more than one meal per month of channel catfish and common carp caught in the Portage River. (en)
