Bucyrus Reservoir No. 2 boat launch
Bucyrus Reservoir No. 2
This boat ramp services Bucyrus Reservoir No. 2, which is a small body of water located in Crawford County, Ohio. The reservoir is used primarily for fishing, and anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish species, including bass, crappie, and bluegill.
According to local regulations, only non-powered and electric-powered watercraft are permitted on Bucyrus Reservoir No. 2. Gas-powered watercraft are not permitted, as the reservoir is relatively small and shallow, and the use of gas-powered engines could cause environmental damage and safety hazards.
Overall, Bucyrus Reservoir No. 2 boat ramp is a small but convenient launch site for those wishing to explore the reservoir by small watercraft. It is important to adhere to local regulations and guidelines to ensure the safety of all those using the reservoir.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Bucyrus Reservoir No. 2 as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Bucyrus Reservoir No. 2
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
