**Location & Access:** The Big Run Boat Ramp is located at 5187-5193 Newark Road in Zanesville, Ohio (near Pleasant Valley Road/County Road 408), providing access to Dillon Lake. The facility features a large parking lot and is situated next to the Dillon Sportsman Club, making it easy to locate.
**Facilities & Services:** This non-reservable recreation area offers four boat ramps for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. A boat concession on-site provides rentals, fuel, fishing supplies, and boating amenities. Seasonal dock rentals (approximately 70 docks available) are offered for those who need longer-term mooring. The variety of launching points makes this an excellent choice for paddlers and boaters of different skill levels and vessel types.
**What to Expect:** As part of Dillon Lake, this access point provides a picturesque setting for paddling and recreational boating. The substantial infrastructure—multiple ramps, ample parking, and on-site services—indicates this is a well-developed, busy recreation area. Paddlers should expect moderate activity levels, especially on weekends and during peak seasons.
