Atterbury Fish & Wildlife Area

Located in Franklin, Johnson County, the Beaver Bottom boat ramp at Atterbury Fish & Wildlife Area provides a concrete launch point into one of the area's productive fishing waters. The ramp is part of a 270-acre complex featuring 10 water impoundments managed for fishing and wildlife recreation. Beaver Bottom is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking for a relatively calm, enclosed water environment.

The area is known for excellent freshwater fishing, with channel catfish, bluegill, redear sunfish, and largemouth bass as primary species. The concrete ramp ensures reliable access in most conditions, making it convenient for launching kayaks and canoes.
