The Wellington Upground Reservoir boat ramp provides public access to Charlemont Creek in Wellington, Lorain County. This 21-acre reservoir is part of the larger 541-acre Wellington park system, which was developed collaboratively by Lorain County Metro Parks and the Village of Wellington. The facility offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to explore the reservoir waters.
**Parking & Access:** Note that parking at the boat ramp itself is reserved for handicapped vehicles only. All other visitors must use the parking lot below the launch area and walk up the stairs to access the ramp. Local police do periodically monitor this area, so be sure to relocate your vehicle to the designated parking lot after launching.
The site is part of a well-maintained public recreation area with additional amenities including a Visitor's Center, hiking and biking trails, and fishing opportunities. This makes Wellington Upground Reservoir an attractive destination for paddlers seeking a scenic launch point with adjacent outdoor recreation options.
