Marsh Creek boat ramp located at Avoca Lakeside Park provides access to a scenic paddling route featuring a wide, slow upper section through Avoca Prairie (the largest tallgrass prairie east of the Mississippi) and a narrower, faster lower section with deadfall obstacles requiring occasional portages.

The ramp is a popular public access point with amenities including a beach and park facilities, though paddlers should be aware that water levels and deadfall conditions vary seasonally, with high water creating Class 1 rapids at the upstream Hay Road access point.
