Lake La Su An boat launch
Lake La Su An
The Lake La Su An boat ramp provides access to the approximately 115-acre lake, which is stocked with a variety of fish species, including bass, bluegill, and catfish. The lake is managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and is open to the public year-round.
The boat ramp is suitable for most small watercraft, including canoes, kayaks, and small fishing boats. However, due to the size of the ramp and limited parking, larger boats may have difficulty launching and parking.
In terms of safety, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources recommends that all boaters wear a personal flotation device and follow all posted safety guidelines while on the water. Additionally, all boats must have the required safety equipment on board, including life jackets, flares, and fire extinguishers.
Overall, the Lake La Su An boat ramp is a popular destination for fishing and boating enthusiasts in Ohio. It provides easy access to the lake and is suitable for most small watercraft.

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 Lake La Su An as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Lake La Su An
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.
