Located in Henderson, Kentucky, Audubon State Park offers a convenient boat launch for accessing the park's 75-acre lake, which features three miles of scenic shoreline. The lake is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats, with good fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish. The park combines water recreation with cultural and natural attractions, including the John James Audubon Museum and Nature Center, making it a well-rounded destination for a full day of activities.
Beyond the main lake, paddlers can explore the 650-acre Audubon Wetlands area, which offers unique wildlife viewing opportunities including a bald eagle nest and heron rookery. A wheelchair-accessible boardwalk provides access to portions of the wetlands for observation and photography. The park also provides camping, picnicking, and hiking facilities, along with amenities such as bathhouses. For those interested in exploring larger waters, the nearby Ohio River—Newburgh Pool is accessible and follows the historic Lewis and Clark route.
