Hocking River Access

Eddies Marina in Coolville provides public boat ramp access to the Frost Run and Hocking River system in southeastern Ohio. This launch point serves as a convenient entry for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the scenic tributaries of the Ohio River watershed. The facility is located in Athens County, offering access to waters that flow toward the Ohio River's Belleville Pool area.

Paddlers should note that this access point is subject to river and weather conditions, which can affect launch availability and water levels. The surrounding region offers excellent recreational opportunities, with the nearby Ohio River providing additional boating options and connecting to the Belleville Locks & Dam navigation pool located about 41.5 miles upstream. Before visiting, check current conditions and confirm the ramp is open, particularly during seasonal fluctuations or after heavy weather.
