Rocky Fork State Park - Campground Ramp

The Rocky Fork State Park Campground Ramp offers a well-maintained two-lane lighted launch facility on Clear Creek in Hillsboro, Highland County. This ramp is ideal for both day-use boaters and campers, with 40 seasonal dock rentals available, 40 docks reserved for registered campers, trailer parking, and a seasonal comfort station. The facility provides convenient access for boaters with electric hookups available at designated campsites and tie-ups for those launching their own boats.

Clear Creek is a substantial waterway—a large river (Stream Order 7) with a 1,015-square-mile drainage basin and average flows of approximately 188 cubic feet per second. However, paddlers should note the stream's significant gradient of 34.1 feet per mile on average, indicating moderate to challenging current in many sections. With an average velocity of 2.56 feet per second, this water is best suited for intermediate to experienced paddlers, particularly during higher water conditions. The ramp's location at the campground offers shaded camping options and access to additional park amenities, making it a good base for multi-day paddling trips on Clear Creek.
