Mohican State Park boat launch
Mohican State Park
This boat ramp services the Clear Fork Reservoir, which is a 1,200-acre lake located in Mohican State Park. The Clear Fork Reservoir is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and other water-based recreational activities.
As for the kind of craft that are permitted on the water, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website indicates that motorized boats are allowed on the Clear Fork Reservoir. However, there are restrictions on the size of the motors that can be used, with a maximum horsepower limit of 10 horsepower. Non-motorized watercrafts like kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards are also permitted on the water.
It's important to note that information on boat ramps and watercraft regulations can change over time. As such, it is advisable to check with local authorities or the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for the most up-to-date information before embarking on any water-based activities in the state.

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 Mohican State Park as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Mohican State Park
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.
