Gravel pile Ramp

**Location & Access:** Located in Clarington, Monroe County, Ohio, the Gravel Pile Ramp provides public access to the Ohio River via Stillhouse Run. The launch features a steep gravel drive leading down to the water, with a circular drive and minimal impervious surface—typical of a rustic, well-maintained Ohio River access point.

**What to Expect:** This is a straightforward gravel ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The open tree cover and organized layout make it easy to maneuver boats during launch and retrieval. Be prepared for a steeper approach on gravel, so watch for traction, especially in wet conditions. The Ohio River in this region (within the Hannibal Pool) offers stable water conditions behind the modern dam structure, making it generally accessible for various skill levels.

**Recreation Opportunities:** This access point opens the door to the Ohio River's extensive recreational opportunities, including paddling, fishing, and boating. The Hannibal Pool area is particularly suitable for kayakers and canoeists exploring quieter sections and nearby tributaries. As with any Ohio River launch, be mindful of river traffic and current when entering or exiting the water.
