About Shelby Street Boat Ramp
The Shelby Street Public Boat Launch is located at the corner of Water and Shelby streets just west of downtown Sandusky. This site provides a free public boat launch and offers at least seven structures that extend into the bay providing fishing access. A waterside paved trail and a handicap accessible observation deck provide scenic views of Sandusky Bay. This site includes picnic tables and a seasonally operated concession store.

The boat launch has four lanes. The main boat launch parking lot is approximately 6.2 acres with more than 100 car-and-trailer parking spots. An additional 2.3-acre parking lot just to the south on Shelby Street offers an additional 58 car and car-and-trailer spaces.

In 2001, an Ohio Coastal Management Program grant funded, in part, the construction of a handicap accessible fishing pier/observation deck here. In 2009, the Shelby Street Boat Launch was the launch site for nine fishing tournaments from May to November including some that were nationally televised.

The Sandusky Bay Pathway, a multi-purpose trail accessible to bicyclists, walkers, roller bladers, etc., meanders through the boat launch as it connects Mills Street to the west and Shoreline Drive points to the east. From Shelby Street Boat Ramp (Coastal Access) webpage
