About This Access Site
Norwalk Upper Reservoir No. 2 is a concrete boat ramp facility located in Norwalk, Huron County, in northwest Ohio near Sandusky. The ramp provides access to Norwalk Creek and is part of the City of Norwalk's three-reservoir system that encompasses over 320 acres. The facility includes a parking lot and restroom facilities, making it convenient for day trips.

**Access & Fees:** The ramp is open during daylight hours and requires a $5 annual launch permit from the City of Norwalk (contact the City for permit purchase details). To reach the ramp, take Elaine Road off Compo Road South to access the east side of the launch area.

**Paddling & Fishing:** The 159-acre reservoir complex is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating. Anglers should note a shallow point extending from the south end of the ramp that holds fish. The surrounding area offers additional recreational amenities including walking trails, picnic areas, and frisbee golf. A Park Ranger is typically on duty during summer months. The nearby Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve offers additional paddling and nature exploration opportunities for those interested in coastal ecosystems.
