A Municipal Harbor, the Huron Boat Basin is located on the Huron River 15 miles East of Sandusky Bay. 

The entrance to the Huron River is marked by a Lighthouse on the West side of the river. The strip of land leading out to the Light is a nice spot for a relaxing day of fishing. 

The city of Huron is known as the "Heart of Vacationland" in Ohio. It offers the comfort of a small town with the conveniences of a big city. The Huron Riverfest is a popular summertime event in early July.

 History: This port of call has been a popular destination since the mid 1700's with French fur traders and Indians. The first permanent settler, John Batiste Flemmond, built a 2 room log cabin here back in 1805.It's name was generated from a French word that described the appearance of the Native American Indians in the area. A combination of the French words meaning "Boar and Man". Some of the early year industries were fishing, shipbuilding and ice harvesting. In 1988 the vessel GOLDEN AGE was built here, being one of the largest from the area. With the addition of railways Huron played a key part in marine commerce.
