About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** This boat ramp is located at 3590 Ohio 98 in Bucyrus, Crawford County, offering access to Riley Reservoir and the Sandusky River system. The ramp is a primitive gravel facility on Stetzer Road, suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats.

**What to Expect:** Bucyrus Reservoir No. 1 is a quiet, inland water body ideal for paddlers seeking calm conditions. The reservoir supports a healthy fishery including walleye, bass, catfish, and panfish, making it popular with anglers. Paddlers should note that facilities are basic—this is a rustic access point without amenities like rental services or developed infrastructure. The area is best suited for day trips and recreational paddling rather than high-adventure expeditions.

**Planning Your Visit:** Before heading out, confirm current conditions and any seasonal restrictions. The primitive nature of this ramp means you'll want to scout the launch area beforehand, especially during low water periods when gravel ramps can be challenging. This is a good option for paddlers looking for accessible, flat-water paddling in northwest Ohio.
