Shadyside Marina offers boat ramp access to Wegee Creek and the Ohio River in Belmont County, Ohio. This launch point provides convenient access to the Pike Island Pool, a 30-mile slack-water pool on the Ohio River ideal for recreational boating, fishing, and paddling. The location is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore both the creek and main river channels in the area.
The Ohio River along this section offers calm, pooled conditions suitable for paddlers of various skill levels.
