Welcome to Kenwood Recreation Area

Fishing tournaments are held almost every weekend at this location.

Tournaments range from small boat events (10 to 30 boats) and up to 150 boats, therefore making Kenwood the most popular fishing excursion launching spot on Rodman Reservoir.

The Kenwood Recreation Area is located on the north side of the reservoir off County Route 315, approximately 6 miles south of the town of Interlachen and 5 miles northeast of the small community of Orange Springs. There is a two-lane boat ramp, two picnic pavilions and ample parking located at Kenwood.

During the temporary drawdowns that are conducted at Rodman every three to four years, when the normal reservoir level of 18 to 20 feet is lowered to 11 feet, a temporary ramp is available at the end of Kenwood Road into the former barge canal channel.
