About This Access Site
Located in Evansville along the Ohio River, Angel Mounds Boat Ramp provides convenient public access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The facility features a concrete ramp approximately 30 feet wide and 65 feet long, designed to accommodate various watercraft sizes. The access area offers some tree cover and is developed in a state park style, making it a straightforward launch point with ample space for boat preparation and parking.

The Ohio River at this location is part of the maintained Newburgh Pool navigation project, which keeps the channel suitable for recreational and commercial traffic. Paddlers should note that this is a major waterway with typical river conditions—expect navigation alongside barge traffic and variable water levels depending on season. The site's proximity to the historic Lewis and Clark route adds cultural context to the area, and the ramp's easy water access makes it suitable for paddlers of different skill levels looking to explore this significant American waterway.
