About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Syracuse City Ramp provides public boat launch access to Broad Run and the Ohio River in Syracuse, Meigs County, Ohio. The ramp is conveniently located near Forked Run State Park and features a well-engineered facility with broad parking areas suitable for vehicles and trailers.
**Paddling Opportunities:** This access point puts paddlers on the Racine Pool, a navigable 34-mile stretch of the Ohio River extending upstream to Belleville Locks and Dam. The Ohio River offers excellent opportunities for boating and fishing along this section. Paddlers looking for smaller water may also explore Broad Run and nearby tributaries, which provide good options for kayaking. The river in this region is suitable for various skill levels, though paddlers should be aware of lock and dam operations when planning longer trips.
**Getting There:** From the area, take US 33 West toward Letart or access via I-77 to Ripley. The ramp benefits from being one of four public access points along Meigs County's 38-mile stretch of Ohio River frontage, making it a reliable launch spot for exploring this portion of the river.
