About This Access Site
Located in Clyde, Ohio, this well-developed boat ramp provides excellent access to Raccoon Creek Reservoir and Sandusky Bay. The facility features a **four-lane boat ramp with ample parking for approximately 100 vehicles**, making it suitable for busy weekends and group outings. This is a primary launch point for kayakers and canoeists exploring the 2,060-acre reservoir system.

The reservoir stretches roughly 11 miles in length with an average depth of 24 feet, though depths near the dam reach approximately 70 feet. These conditions make it suitable for various paddling skill levels, though paddlers should be aware of deeper sections, particularly near the dam area. The access to both Raccoon Creek Reservoir and frontal Sandusky Bay offers multiple paddling options, from more sheltered lake paddling to open bay exploration. This location serves as an ideal base for day trips or launching longer adventures into the greater bay system.
