The Augusta access site offers a **double-lane boat launching ramp** with ample parking, located at 537 E 2nd Street in Augusta, Kentucky. Access the facility via Hamilton Avenue, which provides the most direct route to the park. This is a day-use facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats launching onto the Ohio River.
The site provides convenient access to this major river corridor. Paddlers should note that the Ohio River in this region is a large, flowing waterway that may have significant current depending on recent water levels and dam operations. The nearby John T. Myers Locks and Dam is located approximately 3.5 miles downstream, which can affect water conditions and navigation. Be aware of barge traffic and plan your paddle accordingly.
This is a straightforward public access point ideal for day trips on the Ohio River. Check current water conditions and dam release schedules before launching, and always wear appropriate safety gear. The facility's double ramp and parking make it accessible for both small hand-launched craft and trailered boats.
