**Overview**
Windy Point is a state-maintained boat ramp and fishing access site on Grand Lake St. Marys, one of Ohio's largest inland lakes at 13,000 acres. Located in Celina in Mercer County, this launch provides convenient access to the expansive lake for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats of all sizes.
**Boating Information**
Grand Lake St. Marys welcomes all types of watercraft, including kayaks and canoes, with no horsepower restrictions for motorboats. A 300-foot no-wake zone surrounds the lake's 52-mile shoreline, protecting paddlers in near-shore areas. The state operates multiple launch ramps across the lake, with Windy Point offering a dedicated boat ramp and fishing pier. The calm, expansive waters make this site suitable for recreational paddling, fishing, and water-based activities.
**What to Expect**
As a state park facility, expect a developed access point with parking and basic amenities. The relatively flat, protected waters of this inland lake are ideal for paddlers of various skill levels, making it an accessible option for day trips and recreational outings. Additional recreational opportunities in the area include swimming and wildlife viewing, as the lake supports an Important Bird Area designation.
