**Location & Access:** The Ashland boat ramp is located at the north end of 16th Street in Ashland, Kentucky, situated behind the floodwall. The ramp features a double-lane concrete launch facility with ample parking available for day users, making it convenient for both canoeists and motorized boaters.
**Practical Information:** This is a well-developed access point on the Ohio River suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The double-lane configuration allows multiple users to launch and take out simultaneously. The John T. Myers Locks and Dam is located approximately 3.5 miles downstream, which paddlers should account for in their trip planning. Note that parking directly on the ramp or blocking the gate is prohibited.
**Important Note:** As with many Kentucky River Authority-affiliated ramps, this facility's status, fees, and availability may be subject to change. It's recommended to contact local authorities or check current conditions before your visit, particularly after high water events or seasonal closures.
