Kokosing Lake offers a convenient boat ramp for paddlers and boaters accessing the North Branch Kokosing River headwaters. Located at the North Branch Kokosing River Lake Campground west of Fredericktown, the site features a well-maintained concrete two-lane ramp with ample parking for vehicles and trailers in a large lighted lot. To reach the ramp, take State Route 13 north from Fredericktown to Waterford Road, then continue about 2 miles to the dam area.
This 154-acre lake is a quiet, scenic destination ideal for recreational paddling and fishing, with a 10-horsepower motor limit keeping the water calm and suitable for kayaks and canoes. The campground is operated by the Fredericktown Recreation District and offers additional amenities including 46 campsites, picnic areas, and a playground—making it convenient for day-use or overnight trips. The lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control and recreation, providing stable water levels and safe paddling conditions.
