About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** The sole boat ramp for Acton Lake is located on the south shore at the far west corner of the lake, within Hueston Woods State Park near Morning Sun, Ohio. Access via State Route 177 and Camden-College Corner Road, which passes over the scenic Hueston Woods Covered Bridge.

**Facilities & Boating:** The launch ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The lake operates under a "no wake" speed restriction regardless of motor size, making it ideal for paddlers seeking calm water conditions. A public dock is also available. The park features a 1,500-foot swimming beach and multiple hiking trails, offering additional recreational opportunities beyond paddling.

**What to Know:** Acton Lake is a relatively small impoundment on Four Mile Creek, suitable for leisurely paddling and exploration rather than distance paddling. Plan to arrive during daylight hours, as swimming is permitted sunrise to sunset. The park setting provides a family-friendly environment with amenities typical of Ohio state park facilities.
