About This Access Site
Located in Napoleon, Ohio on State Route 424 (West Riverview Avenue), Meyerholtz Wildlife Area provides a public boat ramp for accessing the Maumee River on river left. This access point serves paddlers, anglers, and boaters looking to explore this segment of the 53-mile recreational Maumee River stretch. The area offers convenient parking and is situated near other local amenities in the Napoleon area.

The Maumee River in this section flows through a relatively flat landscape typical of northwest Ohio. Paddlers should be aware that while this is a public access point, nearby areas include private property—particularly on islands downstream—so stay informed about boundaries before exploring. The site is suitable for kayaks and canoes, making it a practical launch point for day trips and longer paddling excursions on this historic waterway, which follows the route of the old Miami and Erie Canal and Wabash Canal systems.
