Located on NE 160th Avenue Road in Fort McCoy, Hog Valley Public Boat Ramp provides access to the Oklawaha River and Rodman Reservoir in Marion County. This is one of several public launch points along this popular paddling corridor, making it a convenient option for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring the area. The facility includes a boat ramp, paved parking, restroom facilities, potable water, and picnic pavilions—amenities that make it suitable for day trips or longer outings.
The Oklawaha River in this area is a moderately-sized river system offering opportunities for both paddling and fishing. Paddlers should note that conditions can vary depending on water levels and proximity to Rodman Dam. The presence of nearby camping at Lake Delancy West Campground (about 10 miles away) makes this a good base for multi-day trips. Given the availability of facilities at Hog Valley and nearby access points like Rodman Dam Boat Ramp, paddlers can plan routes that take advantage of multiple launch and takeout options along this section of the river.
