Tappan Marina

Tappan Marina in Scio, Harrison County provides convenient access to Upper Little Stillwater Creek and the adjacent Tappan Lake system. This full-service facility offers boat launch ramps, docking facilities, and a marina with rental options and bait-and-tackle services. The site is well-suited for both kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the waterway, as well as motorboaters within the lake's 399-horsepower limit.

The surrounding area offers excellent recreational opportunities beyond paddling. Tappan Lake Park, operated by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, provides extensive amenities including camping (600+ campsites), a public beach, hiking trails, and picnic areas. The lake is known for quality fishing—particularly saugeye and crappie—making it a popular destination for anglers. Additional public boat launch ramps are available in the area, including one directly across from the resort, providing flexibility for water access.

For paddlers planning a visit, check ahead with the marina or MWCD website (www.mwc) for current amenities, rental availability, and any seasonal information. The creek and lake system offers a range of paddling experiences suitable for various skill levels.
