Highway 70 Bridge

Located at the northwest corner of Oak Creek Reservoir near the north end of the Highway 70 Bridge in Blackwell, this is a straightforward single-lane concrete ramp with adjacent gravel parking. The facility offers basic access for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to launch onto the reservoir. This is a no-frills access point suitable for paddlers and anglers wanting to get on the water quickly.

Water levels at Oak Creek Reservoir can fluctuate seasonally, so conditions at this ramp may vary throughout the year. Under low water conditions, launching from the dam area may be an alternative option. Before heading out, check current water levels to ensure adequate depth for your vessel type. The reservoir setting provides a calmer paddling environment compared to river conditions, making it accessible for various skill levels.
