Rayland Marina websiteAlso, see all the hotspots at:
Jefferson County Birding Drive
This marina is in southern Jefferson County. If you travel south along the Ohio River, you cross into Belmont County before you reach the Pike Island Dam. Be sure to start a new checklist when you cross the county line.
At this location, the Ohio-West Virginia state line is near the Ohio side of the river. Birds seen on the other side of the Ohio River are in West Virginia. When reporting birds from the Ohio hotspot use multiple incomplete checklists as described below.
Ohio eBird reviewers ask that birders keep precise state and county lists. When you are at a location where you see birds across a state or county line, we ask that you keep two incomplete birding lists, one for each side of the border.
When keeping separate checklists for different sides of a border, please follow these rules:
The Short Creek Public Boat Launch is on the Ohio River 9.4 miles north of I-70 on OH-7. From the Ohio River Scenic Byway (OH-7) take the exit toward OH-150, Rayland, and Dixonville. Turn left on County Road 80 and arrive at the Short Creek Public Boat Launch. It is adjacent to the Rayland Marina.
