The Ohioville Borough Boat Ramp provides convenient access to Little Beaver Creek in Beaver County, PA, located just a few hundred feet up the creek from its confluence with the Ohio River. This lower section of Little Beaver Creek offers easy launch and landing for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the scenic creek or venture onto the nearby Ohio River. The access point is approximately 8 miles downstream from Montgomery Dam, making it ideal for paddlers interested in shorter creek trips or those wanting to access the larger Ohio River system.
Boaters should note that the lower section of Little Beaver Creek, from the ramp's area downstream to the state line, is designated as a slow, no-wake zone. This regulation helps manage the mixed-use waterway and minimize conflicts between different user groups. The nearby Ohio River – New Cumberland Pool features a modern lock structure that accommodates commercial traffic, making it an important regional waterway. Paddlers launching here will encounter a few small islands and one bridge within the immediate area, providing scenic paddling opportunities before reaching the confluence with the Ohio River.
