Memory Marina in Fremont offers a well-developed boat ramp providing access to the Yellow Swale and Sandusky River system. The facility features a four-lane ramp with approximately 100 parking spaces, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. This access point serves as a gateway to exploring the lower Sandusky River, which eventually connects to Sandusky Bay on Lake Erie.
The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature exploration. The nearby Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge preserves portions of what was once the Great Black Swamp ecosystem, making the region valuable for observing waterfowl and wetland habitats. Paddlers should check current water conditions and understand that the Sandusky River system includes both moving water and bay areas, offering varied paddling experiences depending on how far upstream or downstream you venture from Memory Marina.
