About Big Run Road Access

This developed paddler and angler access site on the Kokosing River offers ample parking facilities and an information kiosk. Located approximately one-half mile south of the intersection of Big Run Road and State Route 229 in Gambier, the site includes benches for rest and relaxation. A 12x24 picnic shelter was constructed by Rotary Club of Mount Vernon in the summer of 2007, with Small's Sand and Gravel donating concrete for the shelter floor and sidewalk. No reservations are necessary to use the shelter.

What's missing from the site? A picnic grill. The park district is asking for donations to purchase a picnic grill for the site. Approximately $200.00 in donations will allow us to purchase a grill for the public's use. Contact us at 740/392-PARK if you or your organization would like to make a donation.
