Article Presented By Tomlinson Insurance…

(Columbus) – Boaters, here’s your chance to secure a public boat dock slip for the 2025 season at some of Ohio’s most sought-after boating destinations. Beginning Tuesday, October 1st, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources will open the online application for its boat dock lottery, offering spots at 17 scenic state parks. The lottery application period closes at 11:59pm Thursday, October 31st.
 
“Our state parks offer some of the best boating opportunities in Ohio, and the boat dock lottery gives more people the chance to enjoy these beautiful waters,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “We’re excited to offer this convenient online application process, making it easier than ever for boaters to access the outdoor adventures waiting for them next season.”
 


The online application for ODNR’s boat dock lottery will begin Tuesday, Oct. 1.

 
Boating enthusiasts can apply for available docks at the following state parks: Alum Creek, Buck Creek, Buckeye Lake, Burr Oak, Caesar Creek, Delaware, Dillon, Guilford Lake, Indian Lake, Lake Milton, Mary Jane Thurston, Mosquito Lake, Paint Creek, Rocky Fork, Salt Fork, Shawnee, and West Branch.
 
To participate, applicants must submit proof of watercraft ownership (title) and current registration. While you may apply for multiple parks, only one application per household per park is permitted. Those selected will have the opportunity to renew their dock rental annually each spring for up to five years.
