About This Access Site
The Fries Channel Ramp is one of nine public boat launch facilities providing access to Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio's largest inland lake. Located at 116 Water Crest Avenue in Saint Marys, Auglaize County, this ramp serves as a convenient entry point to the 13,500-acre lake and its 52 miles of shoreline. The ramp accommodates various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and motorboats of unlimited horsepower.
Paddlers should be aware that a 300-foot no-wake zone is enforced around the entire shoreline, making this an important consideration when planning your route and timing. The lake's size and extensive shoreline offer plenty of exploration opportunities for paddlers of different skill levels. For specific details about parking, facilities, amenities, hours of operation, and any access fees, contact Grand Lake St. Marys State Park directly or visit the official state park website.
