**Location & Access:** Launch Ramp No. 3 is located in Howard, Knox County, Ohio, providing public boat access to Little Jelloway Creek. This is a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters exploring the Apple Valley Lake system in central Ohio.
**Water Conditions & Recreation:** Apple Valley Lake is an engineered impoundment formed by Little Jelloway Creek, fed by natural springs and surrounding drainage. The calm water conditions make this ramp suitable for kayakers and canoeists of various skill levels. For anglers, this is a popular fishing destination. Nearby paddlers should also note Pleasant Hill Lake operated by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, and North Branch Kokosing River Lake (a quieter 154-acre lake with a 10-hp motor limit), both located within a short distance in the region.
**Before You Visit:** Contact the Ohio Division of Parks and Waterways or local Knox County resources for current conditions, facility details, operating hours, and any applicable fees. Check water levels and flow conditions before launching, especially if planning to paddle beyond the main lake into Little Jelloway Creek proper.
