Caesar Creek State Park - North Pool Hand Launch Ramp

The North Pool Hand Launch Ramp provides access to the northern section of Caesar Creek Lake, a 2,830-acre reservoir located in southwest Ohio between Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus. This hand launch is ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking a calm-water paddling experience. The ramp is approximately 20 feet wide and can accommodate various watercraft, making it suitable for recreational paddling as well as motorboats.

Caesar Creek Lake is known for excellent boating and water recreation opportunities, with the north pool offering a quieter paddling environment compared to busier areas of the lake. The site provides convenient access to the lake's northern waters, popular with anglers targeting crappie and muskie. For trip planning, contact the Caesar Creek Visitor Center at (513) 897-1050. The park is easily accessible from I-75 (take Highway 73 east) or I-71 (take Highway 73 west), with directional signs leading to the Visitor Center. Note that this is a hand launch rather than a traditional boat ramp, so it's best suited for smaller paddle craft and hand-launched boats.
