Located in Green, Ohio, this boat ramp provides access to Nimisila Reservoir, the largest body of water in the Summit Metro Parks system. The reservoir is ideal for kayakers and canoeists, as it restricts motorized use to electric motors only, making it a quieter paddling environment compared to other lakes in the Portage Lakes chain. The ramp is situated at a developed campground facility, offering convenient access with nearby amenities and parking.
Nimisila Reservoir spans part of the 2,034-acre Portage Lakes system and is popular for multiple water sports including kayaking, fishing, and sailing. Paddlers should note that electric-motor boats are permitted on the reservoir, and the park offers eight launch ramps across the Portage Lakes system for varied access points. The area has a rich history, including an ancient Native American portage route and documented wildlife importance as a migratory stopover for thousands of purple martins in August, making it a scenic destination for paddlers.
