**Location & Facilities**
Pleasant Hill Lake's public boat ramp is located on the northern shore near the marina in Perrysville, Richland County, Ohio. This is the primary public launch point (note: a second ramp in Area "E" campground is for campers only). The ramp area includes a nearby marina with fuel and concessions, plus parking and picnic facilities. Be aware that restroom access at the boat launch itself is limited; facilities are available at the marina and beach area on the northern shore.
**Recreation Opportunities**
The lake offers no horsepower restrictions, making it suitable for various motorized and non-motorized watercraft. For paddlers seeking river paddling rather than lake recreation, the Switzer Creek-Clear Fork Mohican River system offers high-quality canoeing experiences with opportunities for camping, fishing, and hiking along the corridor. The broader Pleasant Hill Lake recreation area, managed by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, provides comprehensive amenities including a swimming beach, vacation cottages, and campground—making it a good base for extended visits. Nearby Charles Mill Lake offers additional recreation options in the region.
