Candlewood Lake - North dock

The North Dock access point on Headwaters Whetstone Creek provides boaters and paddlers with convenient entry to this small waterway in Mount Gilead, Morrow County. This site serves as a launch point for exploring the Whetstone Creek headwaters area and offers a quieter alternative to larger regional lakes. The location is situated in rural north-central Ohio, making it accessible for day trips and short paddling excursions.

Paddlers should note that this is a relatively modest access site; bring vehicles appropriate for rural roads and be prepared for basic facilities. Kayakers and canoeists will find the upper Whetstone Creek headwaters ideal for calmer, scenic paddling. If you're seeking additional recreation options in the region, North Branch Kokosing River Lake (approximately 1.5 miles away) offers a small, quiet 154-acre alternative with a 10-hp motor limit and lakefront camping opportunities.
