About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Bobos Campground offers boat ramp access on Frost Run near its confluence with the Hocking River in Coolville, Athens County. The ramp is situated less than half a mile north of the Ohio River, making it a convenient gateway for paddlers looking to access both the Hocking River system and the broader Ohio River navigation channel.

**Important Note:** This is a **private facility for seasonal camping lease holders and guests only**—public access is restricted. If you're not a campground guest, you'll need to seek alternative public launch sites on the Hocking or Ohio Rivers. Boat ramps operate subject to river and weather conditions, so check conditions before your trip. An attendant is typically available during open season from 7:00 AM until dark.

**Nearby Options:** The Hocking River offers excellent paddling opportunities upstream of this site, while the Ohio River provides access to larger-scale boating through the Belleville Pools navigation system, which extends 41.5 miles upstream to the Willow Island Locks & Dam. Several other public access points are available on the Ohio River in Athens County for those who need alternative launch locations.
