Located on Clarence J. Brown Lake in Springfield, this access point offers excellent launching facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The marina features a four-lane boat ramp providing reliable water access to the 2,120-acre reservoir. Additional amenities include fuel, a snack bar, and bait shop, with seasonal dock rentals available for those needing longer-term parking.
The lake permits unlimited horsepower motorboats, so expect a mix of recreational traffic including both powered and paddle craft. The boat launch area is noted as a good spot for observing waterfowl, making it appealing for paddlers interested in wildlife viewing. This is a well-developed facility ideal for day trips and recreational paddling on a large, stable water body. The nearby Clarence J. Brown Dam creates a scenic backdrop at the reservoir's northeast corner, approximately 7 miles upstream from Buck Creek's confluence with the Mad River.
