The North Shore Boat Ramp at East Fork State Park provides a convenient 2-lane launch facility on the western portion of the north shore, offering direct access to the East Fork of the Little Miami River and William H. Harsha Lake. Located in Batavia near Clermont County, this ramp is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to explore the scenic 2,160-acre reservoir. The facility accommodates various watercraft including electric and gas-powered boats, sailboats, canoes, and paddleboards.
This access point is well-suited for a range of paddling skill levels. The calm lake environment provides excellent conditions for beginners and family outings, while paddlers seeking river conditions can venture into the East Fork proper. All boaters must comply with Ohio regulations and carry appropriate safety equipment. The park's location near Cincinnati makes it accessible for day trips, and multiple other launch ramps throughout the park offer alternative access points if needed.
