Ketchums Marina

Ketchums Marina in Coolville provides boat ramp access to the Frost Run and Hocking River system in southeastern Ohio. This access point serves as a convenient launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring this scenic waterway in Athens County. The facility appears to be a developed marina location, making it suitable for various watercraft types.

The Hocking River offers paddlers opportunities for both recreation and fishing throughout the region. The proximity to the Ohio River system (located downstream) means paddlers can plan trips of varying distances depending on water levels and experience. Given the location in Coolville, this ramp provides access to both upstream paddling on the Frost Run and downstream travel toward the main Hocking River channel. Paddlers should check current water conditions before launching, as flow and navigability can vary seasonally.
