Located near Owen in Clark County, the Sportsman Lake boat ramp provides public access to this 253-acre recreational lake. The lake's shallow maximum depth of 12 feet makes it suitable for paddlers of all skill levels, with no significant currents or challenging water conditions to navigate. This is an ideal destination for kayakers and canoeists looking for a calm, accessible paddling experience.
The lake supports a healthy fishery including Panfish, Largemouth Bass, and Northern Pike, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers. The public boat landing ensures reliable access for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. Given the lake's modest size and shallow depth, paddlers should be prepared for potential motorboat traffic during peak seasons.
