The Bethany boat ramp provides access to North Bethany City Reservoir, a 72-acre impoundment surrounded by wooded slopes in Harrison County. This scenic, quiet water body features a concrete boat ramp, 15-car parking area, and accessible facilities including a privy and floating fishing dock. The reservoir is relatively deep (40+ feet) with clear water, making it suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorboats.
As the reservoir serves as Bethany's water-supply lake, visitors should be aware that the site is close to town and typically quieter than larger public reservoirs. The concrete ramp and dedicated parking make this an easy-to-access launch point for paddlers of all skill levels. For specific questions about access rules, permits, or current conditions, contact Bethany City Hall at (660) 425-3511.
